Sendani had bolted up at Aintree last time but he was unable to peg back the winner from the home turn. However he remains of interest. Fire And Rain shaped very well on his first try over hurdles and this 96-rated horse from the Flat looks certain to land a run-of-the-mill novice before going on to better things.
Beherayn had looked progressive when scoring at Taunton and Huntingdon - both right-handed courses - so perhaps he needs to go that way round and he should be given a chance to make amends.
