Ballyboker Breeze makes his debut under Rules for Donald McCain having won a point-to-point in March. But the interesting one is CHIDSWELL. His bumper success at Newcastle around this time last year has worked out with the runner-up winning twice over hurdles and once over fences in the summer - Nicky Richards' yard is going well at present. Royal Sea Breeze is another making his debut under Rules but still preferred to Coozan George and Cousin Guillaume of the others.
