Richard Lee's runners have been in decent form so it would be no surprise to see Noble Crusader in the firing-line under Tom Scudamore. Fahrisee and Moon Over Miami are both C&D winners while Mibleu is back in the right grade. Kimberlite King was placed on a couple of occasions in Ireland last term and makes his debut here for Tim Vaughan but TEMPLE LORD is surely worth another chance after pulling too hard on his UK debut in novice company here four weeks ago. He'll know more today and has more scope than these.
