MY STORY was only fourth on his debut under Rules at Taunton but Noel Fehily takes over the reins here and that form has worked out well with the third winning since and the winner subsequently running well in a Grade 2 at Aintree. Symphony Of Angels ran his best race so far at Ludlow last month but Equus Amadeus will probably need more if he’s to open his account. St John's was out of his depth at Cheltenham after winning here over 1m5f in the autumn but he still has a penalty to carry.
