WILLIE SHAKE HANDS (3) found the frame two back in a hurdle (3400m) at Newcastle then again ran a good race to finish third last time out, beaten 1.5 lengths, in a hurdle (3990m) at Sedgefield. Major player again. BENY NAHAR ROAD (4) failed to finish two starts back in a steeplechase (3140m) at Catterick then turned things around last time, scoring by a neck in a steeplechase (3860m) at Sedgefield. Hard to fault on his recent run. DREAM JET (5) was most recently at the races five months ago. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (3200m) at Musselburgh, beaten 4.5 lengths. Tough to fault. FROM THE CLOUDS (1) returns from a 392-day spell. Hasn't raced since he in a hurdle (3400m) at Newcastle. Sure to acquit himself well.
