FormscanBy Tom Weekes - TACTICAL MOVE might defy a 1,158-day layoff and win. Out of a half-sister to Denman, he had a gap year following his point-to-point debut, returned to defeat capable Idas Boy at Clonmel in November 2019 but then missed two seasons. However it is encouraging leading connections are persevering. Lets Go Champ, a brother to Scarlet And Dove, himself hasn't been seen since selling for 375,000 pounds in May 2019, having won a point-to-point 10 days earlier. He defeated a subsequent 140-rated chaser chaser in his point and is also retained by leading connections. Do Whatever, a half-brother to Bellshill, is J.P. McManus' second runner for Jim Dreaper while Star Harbour, rated 94 on the flat, has jumping experience but would prefer good ground. Clodders Dream was well held on debut while stablemate Ideal Vert ran well in a point-to-point but was soundly beaten in November. Flat sprinter Ivasecret debuts over jumps.
