Race preview
MR VANGO, who cost 30,000 pounds after winning between the flags in February, looks a solid option despite picking up a 5lb penalty for his gutsy success on his debut under Rules at Haydock three weeks ago. He displayed a willing attitude that day and ticks the right boxes as regards trip and ground. Grove Road is an obvious threat after scoring over 2m4f on his hurdles debut in October, while Inflexible is another to bear in mind.
