Ribeye came good over fences at Market Rasen but hadn't run so well over hurdles earlier. PIAFF BUBBLES gets the nod as he had been running well before landing a novices' handicap in good style at Wetherby and there should be more to come while Basford deserves a change of fortune having been narrowly beaten in his last three though keeps going up without winning. Doireann has been narrowly beaten twice at Fakenham in-between a poor effort at Plumpton while Our Sam ran his best race to date at Hexham and Kiss My Face was placed on the Tapeta at Southwell earlier this month.
