Amber Gambler was pulled up on his chasing bow but has won since off a higher mark over hurdles. The Jugopolist won over fences at Huntingdon at the 29th attempt but failed to follow up when favourite at Southwell. Tenant Farmer has won a point-to-point and makes his debut under Rules over the larger obstacles after six runs over hurdles but TOMMY THE RASCAL looks a better bet. He was second when racing from out of the handicap here two weeks ago and can race off his correct mark today.
