This looks a stronger division than the first. Land League has a higher rating over fences and goes well fresh while there was plenty to like about Cremant’s fourth at Uttoxeter last month when he shaped as though he’d be suited by this step up in trip. Milanstorm should have more to offer back up in distance but Southwell third Manor Park is now 0-8 and has a similar profile to Caviciana. DEL DUQUE has had only four career starts and was staying on strongly last time at Bangor. He wouldn’t much more to get off the mark on his handicap debut.
