SANITISER ran as if just needing it back from 5 months off at Kempton recently and can show his modest hurdle mark to be lenient this time. Ellerton is another who can be made to look well treated judged on Flat ability and is second choice ahead of Easter Junction.

IORENS appeared to be travelling at least as well as eventual winner Ferrybridge when losing momentum with a second-last mistake at Huntingdon and, now 4lb better off with that rival, she could be the answer Jet of Dreams is entitled to come on for his Market Rasen spin and is feared most, while Famoso and Henri Le Bon are others to consider
