Sweeping Rock is often placed but a strike-rate of 1-30 over hurdles is off-putting. A winner at Southwell in April, Hahadi was staying on at Ludlow last time but ALRAMZ is improving with experience and Sue Gardner may have finally found a race for the former John Gosden inmate. Coolnacritta is a danger having shown much-improved form at Hexham and having a first run for Neil Michie and he’s preferred to the inconsistent Alfoski. Special Brute could be one to consider if the market speaks in his favour.
