Note any market support for Seven No Trumps or Barely Famous, though the latter doesn’t look the stable pick with de Boinville riding Arcadian Pearl. ROMAN ROCK will have benefited from his first run for Richard Newland at Haydock and the fourth has won since. Mountain Leopard found only one too good when stepped up in trip at Plumpton and the expensively-bought Theme Tune has been showing promise in bumpers and is bred for jumping while Onchan, who runs in the same colours, had excuses at Hereford. Prime Pretender won a point in November but will likely do better over fences.
