Fendale, Tylery Wonder and HAROME came home 1-2-3 in the jump jockeys sprint handicap here last month and one cannot but reflect that the honed Flat racing skills of Graham Lee played a key role in the outcome. Fendale is worse off now with both second and third, whilst Ben Sanderson is also reunited with Harome and his 5lb claim is taken to prove decisive in what could prove a fascinating re-run. Others are to be considered too with the likes of Henley and Bashiba not discounted. And just for good measure it would not surprise to see Excessable on the premises - he was fourth in that aforementioned jump jockeys sprint and is coming to hand.
