Beforeall has won a point-to-point but his form under Rules makes grim reading. Icanmotor lacks a recent run, as does Ashcott Boy, but Feast Of Fire must have a decent chance on his handicap debut despite top weight. SEYMOUR LEGEND hadn't shown much prior to his fifth at Chepstow but a repeat of that effort would probably suffice here as last month's Wetherby third Desert Nova is still a maiden at the age of 11.
