Twotwothree has finished second at Catterick and Carlisle so far and will be backed to go one better. Iwilldoit made much of the running on debut at Fontwell and kept on under pressure. Norman Stanley has shown promise at Market Rasen and Wetherby while Always Du Cerisier has placed form in point-to-points. CHEZ HANS cost 110,000 euros and is a half-brother to three winners, including Grade 2 winner Hardline, out of a winning bumper. It will be disappointing if he doesn’t go close on his introduction.
