This could be a decent opportunity for WANDERING EGO to land a second success over hurdles. Mariole could take a step forward from his Taunton hurdle debut and is second choice ahead of Worcester maiden winner Dream Diamond, who needs to get his career back on track after a couple of lesser efforts in handicaps. |
