Bescot Springs was only beaten a head over 3m1f here in November and again shaped with promise on his comeback at Perth when third to the progressive Peachey Moment.

Donald McCain's five-year-old has won three times over hurdles and usually competes at a higher level than this. Wor Rom is another winning hurdler with claims on only his second start over fences.
