Verdict

It's difficult to oppose RUTTAN LAKE after a couple of very easy wins lately. He's clearly improved immensely for a season in point-to-points and still looks several steps ahead of the handicapper. There are question marks over all of his rivals but course winner Chevy To The Levy could feasibly improve for his run at Newton Abbot in June and Himayna was having her first run over fences when fifth at Fontwell, though has now had 24 starts without managing to get her head in front.
