Persuer tries a new trip and didn’t show any progress last time at Aintree. UNE DE LA SENIERE has found some form again since wind surgery and, despite a 2lb rise for finishing second at Worcester, remains well treated on past form. Justified finally got off the mark at Huntingdon and that should have boosted confidence while Mr Yeats seems to be in good form. College Oak was only beaten a head at Ffos Las last month so can’t be ignored.
