Alph is not progressing so Hurricane Harvey, Millers Bank and Nothing Man look the three with experience to concentrate on, though the first pair of that trio keep finding one too good and the last-named has changed stables since his fourth at Ayr in November. ENEMY COAST AHEAD is by a proven NH sire out of a winning stayer on the Flat. He was a relatively cheap purchase but hails from a yard with a good record in races like this and will know what’s required. In Rem is also interesting but has a soft-ground pedigree.
