Chooseyourweapon followed up a points win by landing a course and distance maiden on his debut under Rules. He could be anything but will probably need to improve again to defy the penalty. The Sweeney showed promise at Uttoxeter last month having finished third in a bumper in his only previous start but GOLDEN SUNRISE improved markedly on his first run over timber when third last time at Exeter – the fourth has already won since. Winning pointer Jabbea hinted at ability in a Taunton bumper while Mance Rayder is surely better than he showed at Exeter.
