Pentiffic's last two wins under Rules have come over 2m4f but he does stay much further and it will be surprise if he's not in the firing-line here. Recent Ffos Las winner Bobs Law is closely matched with Lucy Turner's mount on collateral form, however, and he looks held on previous running by KIRKLEIGH (NAP). A strong stayer, he won this in 2013 under Thomas Chanin and has come right to form between the flags recently. Bradley Brook, who won at Exeter last May, has won five point-to-points so can also get involved with remote Huntingdon runner-up Lets Get Serious looking the pick of the remainder.
