Having only run twice under Rules so far, and been placed in both, All Is Good has more scope than most. With Pleasure has won on the Flat since last seen over timber and is still at the right end of the handicap. Burst Ya Bubble improved over the summer while Rebel Yeats and Arty Campbell are recent winners worth a second look. Brown Bear has won over hurdles and fences but may be better over the larger obstacles. ENOLA GAY was only headed at the last in what looked a strong maiden at Uttoxeter last month. There should be more to come so he gets a tentative vote on his handicap debut though this is wide-open as Watcombe Heights, Molineaux and Bardd also have claims.
