The four with experience have shown little though THE FURROWS END ran better than his placing suggests at Huntingdon and can take this with that experience certain to have brought him on. Vulcan Bomber was well beaten over 1m5f at Exeter and the stable also run the newcomer The Mick Preston, who will do better when tackling obstacles though this isn't the toughest of starts. Full Spes is another from a stout jumping family who looks a chaser in the making.
