Philip Hobbs rarely has runners at this level but Lord Lescribaa is probably best watched here after a lay-off as all of his placed form is over fences. JEWELLERY is often thereabouts and will get every assistance from Rachael Green. On better terms, she is entitled to reverse Taunton running in March with Drumbeater. Alison Thorpe's four-year-old can finally get her head in front, though Killing Me Softly kept on nicely into fourth in a non-seller over C&D earlier this month and may be running back into form.
