Too Big To Fail⁵⁹¹

4/1

Shaped promisingly when fourth on Nottingham debut in October 2019. Disappointed at Yarmouth 13 days later but that perhaps came too soon. Betting useful on this return to action after 19 months off.

Sans Pretention¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: W J Haggas| OR: 77

Fair maiden. Not at her best last time but it's still early days and she may yet do better.

Form: 4-74

Forecasts

Sans Pretention (7/4), Giovanni Change (3/1), Too Big To Fail (4/1), Mrs Hyde (11/2), Hard To Fault (12/1), Robert Johnson (14/1), National Treasure (18/1), Platinumcard (100/1), Everett (100/1), Robyn Pud (200/1), Book Of Invasions (250/1)

GIOVANNI CHANGE has been thriving over hurdles of late so looks the one to beat on his Flat debut. Mrs Hyde is of a similar level over hurdles so is an obvious threat, while it's too soon to be writing off Sans Pretention.
