My Whirlwind is preferred to Get Prepared of the two points winners making their debut under Rules. Both lack a recent run but fitness shouldn’t be an issue. Ballymillsy was thrown in at the deep end at Cheltenham following his third at Lingfield and should find this easier while the eight-year-old Paddys Motorbike seems to have taken on a new lease of life since switching to Sam Thomas and Jordan Nailor’s claim takes a big chunk off the penalty he picked up for making all at Uttoxeter. Poldark Cross was clear of the rest when runner-up at Wetherby but Will Sting needs more. LAND OF WINTER gets the nod as he has been in good form on the Flat this year and placed twice over trips too short over hurdles in the spring.
