4.50 AMBION HILL (IRE); 5.00 FAMILY POT (FR); JOBESGREEN LAD; 6.00 HALDON HILL (IRE); 6.50 ON THE PLATFORM (IRE); 7.00 COBRA COMMANDER (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
The J P McManus-owned HALDON HILL shaped well on his return to action at Ffos Las last month, closing out his race in taking fashion having been outpaced as things developed. Down in grade and up in trip, the gelded son of Mahler looks capable of building on that run and is favoured ahead of the Colin Tizzard-trained Ambion Hill, who performed better than the result would suggest at Exeter on his latest outing. Jobesgreen Lad made an encouraging start over fences last time and is also worth noting.
