Henry's Joy has reserved his best form for Sedgefield so far and after landing a Class 2 handicap at that track finished last at Perth. MERRY MILAN was easy to back at Bangor but showed a willing attitude to get up close home. That could turn out to be decent form and Nicky Martin’s charge can defy a penalty. Flynnvincible disappointed at Towcester after a third at Fakenham but The Drone has won twice between the flags since last seen under Rules.
