Aardwolf clearly struggles to stay the minimum hurdles trip and has probably had enough chances. Jamacho only won a maiden at Sedgefield last month but has earlier taken a jumper’s bumper at Newcastle and has also been placed on the Flat recently. Banish won three times on Polytrack for Hugo Palmer and Master Ring won over 1m3f for Mick Halford in 2016. Boychick had a decent strike-rate up to 1m4f on the level but there should be more to come from TOMMY HALLINAN. Though pulled up on his hurdling debut in December, Paul Nicholls’ Irish import made mistakes and lost confidence. He’ll have had plenty of schooling since and won over 1m2f on quick ground a year ago.
