Verdict
Pilgrims King stepped up considerably on his bumper debut when hunting up Jeremy The Jinn this month at Market Rasen. The son of Sholokhov pulled clear of the rest of the field to add further lustre to the form and is an interesting type. Nelsons Rock hasn't been out since landing the second of two point-to-point wins in January last year and the market will probably signal his chance here on a first start for the Tizzards, as it will for the newcomers. LET'S HAVE ANOTHER represents Olly Murphy here on debut and it's often been the case that their debut bumpers winners have been well supported. So hopefully he will prove a positive in the market fluctuations here.
