JOHANOS has been running well enough over hurdles to suggest a race of this nature can come his way. The selections third at Ludlow last month is fair form and his yard have an 18% strike rate (3/17) in recent weeks. Skipthescales is worth giving another chance to having run behind a classy looking rival here last month while Largy Bull in the first time cheekpieces can claim third.
