Vinnie The Hoddie gave supporters of the odds-on Prabeni a fright at Doncaster and a good run from that one earlier on the card would be a pointer. Sunrise Ruby’s conqueror here in January, Our Dot’s Baby, is also running earlier in the day but Storm Goddess didn’t have much to beat when getting off the mark and is unlikely to be suited by this drop in distance. Elisezmoi is having his first run in the country after a break so we’ll give another chance to HUMBLE HERO, who was only beaten a short-head at Ludlow having chased home the useful Bright Forecast at Leicester on his hurdles bow.
