Tony Newcombe has proved to be something of a master of reinvigorating cast-offs and former Evan Williams hurdler, Taroum, could figure if taking part having been engaged to run at Bath yesterday. Bernard Llewellyn has really gone to war with five of the declared runners and most eyes are likely to be on Ffos Las scorer, Pandorica, especially as Robert Williams takes a valuable 7lb off. In anticipation of that, the claims of SWEET WORLD could end up being overlooked. Though eight-years of age, he knows how to win at Chepstow and he confirmed his well being with a recent victory over hurdles at Worcester. Moonshine Ruby and Carmen's Concerto are handicap debutantes to note in the betting while Grandad Mac justified market leadership at the course last September and is likely to be staying on when others have cried enough.
