Richard Guest has been making hay with BE MY DEPUTY in minor contests and Friday's Leicester winner is probably the one to beat again here. Nico De Boinville's claim wipes out his penalty. Cara Court also arrives at the top of his game, however, having won over hurdles and fences in the last two weeks. Midnight Charmer won at Taunton before unseating his rider at Lingfield last month but Ohms Law had a couple of unfortunate experiences over fences last summer and the others don't look good enough.
