Second in two runs over hurdles in France, the €30,000 purchase BOLTISSIME can make a winning start for Richard Newland. Lord Roccoco found only one too good here on his hurdles bow but that was over an extra half-mile and winning pointer Youracert may also find this on the short side. Rukwa wasn’t disgraced when fourth at Huntingdon and probably improved on that when second at Market Rasen so could profit if the selection needs the run.
