Having previously proved hard to place, Mullinaree has rattled up a five-timer since getting off the mark in a Fontwell handicap in March. Cold Sobar is unbeaten under Rules so far while Everyonesgame has won three times this year. Way Out arrives on a four-timer but most attention will be focused on the unexposed CAPTAIN TEAGUE, who makes his debut over hurdles but was third in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March having already won a point and a bumper at Plumpton - he is a half-brother to useful chaser Sky Pirate. Rock House had a subsequent winner back in third when winning at Worcester last month but Irish import Della Casa Lunga is having a first run for new connections while Resplendent Grey has yet to encounter going this quick.
