THE GO TOU MAN made a promising start at Worcester last month when finding only the favourite too good. Harry Whittington’s charge can go one better in this and is preferred to Highway Star, third at Taunton back in April. Don Lami, Inaminna and Laketour Leader have all won point-to-points and debut under Rules today along with Mellow Ben while It's Got Legs is preferred to Midnight Frolic of the newcomers.
