Special John (G)

Won his first 2 starts over fences last season at Exeter and Wincanton. In command a long way out when adding to his tally in a 10-runner handicap chase at Bangor (3m, good to soft) 25 days ago, scoring with more superiority than the bare …

Edgewell (G)

Hasn't always convinced with his attitude but reacted well to a change of headgear when landing back-to-back Hereford handicaps in March/April. Lacklustre efforts on his last 3 outings, though, and reapplication of blinkers will need speak…
