Joie De Vivre was placed at Sedgefield on Thursday but this is a quick turnaround in the conditions. Myburg hadn't shown much before a surprise victory over today's rival Trouble Shooter at Catterick, though that was on good ground. Tommaso's success at Doncaster was in similar conditions but HUNGRY TIGER appears to act on anything. George Bewley's Irish import has run well in slightly better company the last twice and can gain his first success over hurdles. Court Jurado's only victory came in 2020 and he was beaten a long way into second at Fakenham.
