A pretty weak opener, despite the numbers. Hold Me Tight is often placed but now 0-42 with Market Rasen third Yaazaain less exposed. Rostello has shown some promise while Write It Down has won three times over the larger obstacles, though gives the impression a return to a longer trip will be in order shortly. TRAIN HILL is a speculative suggestion making his chasing bow as the Irish bumper winner was staying on over hurdles here last time and can race off the same mark.
