The Bluesman (10/11), Moonshine Man (4/1), Heeztheboy (9/2), Miralago (9/1), Noche Negra (12/1), Hecouldbetheone (18/1), Stratagem (25/1), Lylian (25/1)
HEEZTHEBOY has improved no end for new connections this season and Gary Hanmer's 8-y-o gets the nod to take this step up in class in his stride and make it 4 from 5. His main danger may emerge from The Bluesman, who made a mockery of his opening handicap mark sent chasing for Olly Murphy at Southwell recently and should progress again. Noche Negra has another significant absence to overcome but adds additional intrigue, too.
