Bumper winner SANGHA RIVER made a winning start over hurdles with an easy victory at Southwell. That was his first outing since 2018 so improvement looks likely and Olly Murphy’s charge can defy a penalty. He’s preferred to stablemate Del Duque but Silkstone placed over hurdles at the start of the year and has been running well in the Flat recently. Pisgah Pike may improve having undergone wind surgery since last in action but point-to-point winner Urban Legend was well beaten on his hurdling now.
