Back On The Lash is the least exposed but has an extra mile to cover having beaten Saturday’s Newbury winner Humble Hero over 2m at Ludlow. Redzor has improved for the step up to 3m and it is no surprise that he’s the choice of Bridget Andrews ahead of stablemate Wynford. Silva Eclipse appeared to be feeling the effects of a busy few months at Ayr earlier this month while Markov’s second at Doncaster came in a three-runner race. FAITHFUL MOUNT gets another chance as a second at Doncaster suggested he’s well handicapped at present - that form was franked by the third last week. Ballyhome was runner-up over track and trip in January but has been climbing the weights without winning.
