Western High wasn't disgraced on his debut at Bangor while there are possibilities about Gary Moore's newcomer Gallowgate Lad, but there are some powerful yards represented in this. Kayf Aramis' brother Kaylif Aramis has been knocking on the door, while Nicky Henderson's Victor Echo will almost certainly improve on his fourth at Ffos Las. But the pedigree of THEMANFROMCORK suggests he'll pay his way under NH Rules in the coming seasons and Paul Nicholls' four-year-old is fancied to make a winning debut here.
