Point-to-point scorer HOT ROD LINCOLN (NAP) has been slightly disappointing over hurdles since making a promising debut behind the useful Knowsley Road in November. He shaped much more like it last time though and is worth another chance back in a maiden. Shandancer is not quite as good as form figures may suggest but Amalfi Bay was a dual winner at Epsom for Roger Charlton and is not highly tried on a first start in his new discipline. Stable companion Ferret Jeeter also has a first go over timber and is respected along with Blazing Hartingo and the Greatrex bumper winner Jet Of Dreams.
