Point-to-point winner Kriss Cross makes his debut under Rules as does Itsnoteasyted. Buffalo Ballet showed promise when third on his debut at Musselburgh and he makes more appeal than Yourlookinathim who, along with stablemate Windfield Truck, represents last year's winning yard, but it could pay to stick with DANTE'S FROLIC. William Amos' filly made a winning debut over C&D last month with the re-opposing Bonnie Burnett 10 lengths back in second and she should handle the heavy going.
