In The Rough made a promising start at Huntingdon on his debut, but KILCOOLEY finished closer when second at Carlisle last month. The latter is just preferred in this. Point-to-point winner, Jac The Legend, makes his debut under Rules but another point winner in Dunluce Castle has yet to threaten in bumpers. Palmarrick is no forlorn hope on his fourth at Sedgefield three weeks ago while The Backup Plan and Uppingham are both worth noting for yards with a good record in these contests.
