Another Frontier has run well in both starts this season but a 5lb rise for his second to Wolftrap at Ludlow looks harsh with the winner well beaten since. Alf 'n' Dor has been progressing nicely in maiden hurdles but would need to take a further step forward to land this. Both of Saint John Henry’s wins over hurdles have come at Bangor and he’s only a pound lower than when finishing well beaten there when last seen in March. Belize beat CARRY ON SYDNEY and Bryden Boy at Southwell in May but Oliver Sherwood’s charge is fancied to come out best of that trio on today’s revised terms having gone close in blinkers at Wetherby last month.
