Neither Karl Burke nor Michael Dods have many runners under NH Rules so Tele Red and Jomont are worth a market check, particularly the latter who is a half-brother to three winners on the Flat. Masaccio is a half-brother to seven winners on the Flat and one over jumps. Like the others, he gets 7lb from ARTHUR’S SEAT but the latter did beat a big field at Huntingdon in some style and may be capable of defying his penalty. Anditsnonaynever looks most interesting among the others.
