Winning pointer No No Bingo didn't fare too badly on his debut over fences under Rules but GEE DEE NEN will surely land this if on his best behaviour. He unseated Jamie Moore's brother Joshua at Huntingdon last week but was second at the same track in May off today's mark and also has placed form here. Terra Bleu seems much happier over hurdles and has only managed one place in five starts over the larger obstacles while veteran Rash Moment races from 5lb out of the handicap.
