Ian Williams
A winner of a NH flat race at 2m on good to soft ground. Fell at the 8th when 5-1 at Southwell over 2m 4f (good to soft) in a chase won by Ballyallia Man in February on his chase debut.
Ben's Folly has a great chance on ratings but he was a shade disappointing when sent off long odds-on at Fakenham last time so is taken on with OLD WIGMORE. The soft ground was against him at Exeter last time but providing the rain stays away, he can bounce back to form here. Scotsbrook Cloud is rated 135 over hurdles and could step up on his chasing debut effort at Hereford last month so he is also considered.
