Matt Brocklebank's Monday Nap won at 4/1 and he returns to preview the jumps action on Tuesday, including a fancy at Ffos Las.
Conditions remain on the soft side at Ffos Las and that's going to suit IONITY, who had a couple of quiet runs around here in decent novice races last season before showing considerable improvement on his handicap debut at Hereford last month. He's gone up 2lb in the ratings and it will be interesting to see how Hereford winner Shillanavogy gets on in the race before Ionity's, but regardless of that result Evan Williams' horse looks on an upward curve now and can take another step forward to open his account under Adam Wedge.
Seeyouinmydreams is clearly going to be popular here for Nicholls and Cobden but it could pay to side with LA GOMERA instead. She doesn't seem to like cut in the ground but her good-ground form reads 122 - the victory admittedly coming in a three-mile point-to-point. She was well held on handicap debut last time at Hereford (good to soft) but has a leading chance here on her previous runner-up effort to Ascot Martini in a mares' maiden. Importantly, conditions look like being in her favour with little or no rain forecast in the area.
MERSEY STREET has the look of a potential big improver now sent handicapping off a relatively low hurdles mark (96) at Southwell. He was a bit too keen for his own good when last seen, ending up sixth of 14 in a Taunton novice in December, but it was a promising enough run and he shouldn't be inconvenienced by a drop back to two miles. He was third to Roger Pol (now rated 117) in a bumper last spring, having been placed in a point, and there should be plenty more to come from the six-year-old.
PILOT SHOW has filled the runner-up spot on his two previous visits to Hereford and might be able to set the record straight on Tuesday. Warren Greatrex's charge attracted support (100/30) on his return from a break here last month and although a shade fortunate to end up second, it was a far more encouraging run having signed off in the winter with back-to-back pulled-up efforts. He seems happier on the prevailing (good) ground and looks bound to go well again under Ben Bromley.
