R Mullen
P J Hobbs
Pulled up when 7-1 at Exeter over 2m 1f (good) in a selling hurdle race won by Knox Overstreet last month on her latest outing.
The safest option here is STAND GUARD. He was rather disappointing when sent off long odds-on for a Southwell seller last month but even a reproduction of that runner-up effort would probably make him the one to beat here. Gay Sloane comes out best on these terms and he can certainly play a leading role if putting his best foot forward. Shy is a capable sort at a lowly level and she could take advantage if the aforementioned pair fail to deliver.
