Richard Johnson rides Fivetotwelve in preference to Mini Crest and Follow That but none of Olly Murphy’s trio figure on the shortlist. Some Might Say is surely better than she showed at Fontwell and something appeared to be amiss with Pogo I Am at Southwell in July but she again carries a penalty. Marada had decent form in bumpers so is worth a market check but this is a big drop in class for GALICE MACALO, who wasn’t unfancied in a Listed race at Doncaster in January and was staying on in the closing stages.
