Velvet Vulcan
The thriving VELVET VULCAN has only just failed at Ayr the last twice so has obvious claims turned out quickly. Cher Tara ran a cracker on only her second start for this yard when third at Newcastle so rates the main threat ahead of Gonnino, who's worth another go at this longer distance.

Resumed winning ways at Sedgefield 3 weeks ago, grinding to the front late and having his head down at the right time under this rider. 3 lb rise may be enough to prevent the follow up.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosSedgefield2m 3f 188yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle1/6Musselburgh1m 7f 124yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/11Sedgefield2m 178ySoftHurdle2/10Newcastle2m 190yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle1/11Musselburgh1m 4f 104yGoodFlat8/11- 4Snow DragonJ: Gregor WalkingshawE: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore46-3334Âge 55/14/19/2

Has been with a couple of top yards but ran as well as she ever has done when third of 16 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Newcastle on second start for this stable last month, doing best of those from off the pace in a steadily-run affair.

Not the most consistent but he won over this C&D this time last year and resumed winning ways at Ayr in December.
