Timoshenko was a useful stayer on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott and made a winning start over track and trip earlier in the month. He has a penalty to carry now, however, and will almost certainly be suited by further than this in time. Leroy Brown will need to improve on his two runs to date over timber and Employer jumped poorly on debut but HUNTING PERCIVAL made a promising start at Ludlow after winning his bumper and he can build on that to land this. Light In The Sky won on the Flat in France with the mare Leeswood Lily probably the pick of the remainder.
