The prospect of carrying top weight would be a slight concern but I think SCENE NOT HERD has a lot more to offer over fences and the booking of in form Johnny Burke catches the eye. Charlie Longsdon’s 7 year old was a progressive novice last term winning 3 on the bounce before finding soft ground at Sandown too much to handle. He returned at kempton 16 days ago and was pulled up but again the ground may not have been ideal that day and I’m not sure whether the track suited him all that much. He should be much more at home at Leicester today on better ground and I think he could be a lot better than these he faces today so at 6/1 he gets the vote.
Leicester 3.00 – Scene Not Herd
