Verdict
Lady Kk returned to winning ways at Taunton last month but is not the most reliable and NO HUBS NO HOOBS is preferred. The latter ran well at Exeter on his reappearance and a bold bid is anticipated attempting to repeat last year’s success in this. Love Actually has returned to a winning mark and headgear is applied for this while Lieutenant Rocco returns to action and Mr Vango makes his chasing debut.
