Cabhfuilfungi sets the standard but is penalised for landing a Southwell maiden in May. Making Headway won a maiden point in Ireland last November but EASTER JUNCTION would probably have finished second on his hurdling debut at Bangor had he not blundered and unseated Brian Hughes two out and can gain compensation. Recoded was an eye-catcher in a bumper at Ayr in the spring and looks the danger.
