SCUDAMORE showed major improvement at Stratford and though running from 9lb higher with his rider's claim taken into account he can go in again. Living's Boy An Co was in good form over fences in the autumn but he's 9lb higher than when scoring at Market Rasen. Lighthouse Mill has never won but made a bold bid to make all at Southwell. Champagne Town, a winning point-to-pointer in Ireland, hasn't run since well beaten at Doncaster last spring but should be capable of better while Enthused, three-times a winner on the Flat, has been beaten in plating company over timber.
