In the period shown, three horses have won this on their seasonal reappearance. Hello Bud in 2010, Eurotrek in 2006, and Clan Royal in 2003. Age (7-14), weight (10-0 – 11-12) and Official Rating (OR) (123 – 148) offer no real clues. Join Together may represent three-time winner Paul Nicholls. Second last year he runs off a 2lb lower mark. Two-time winner Nigel Twiston-Davies has Baby Run entered and the horse is reported to be working with all his old enthusiasm. Third home Last year, Big Fella Thanks is now 6lb higher. Just behind came Swing Bill who goes well fresh. He is on a 2lb lower mark. Soll ran well in this year’s Grand National. He goes well fresh and looks to have a decent shout off his mark. Others to consider include the well-handicapped Boston’s Angel on his first start for David Pipe, Topham runner-up Walkon, Irish raider On His Own, Grand National fancy Roberta Goldback, and Wyck Hill who has claims at his best. Across The Bay is likely to cut out the pace off a reasonable handicap mark.
