CAIUS MARCIUS made a successful bumper debut at Ayr and wasn't disgraced in Listed company at Cheltenham. He has a fine jumping pedigree and can make a successful hurdling debut. Nendrum has ability as he showed at Ayr last time though doesn't look one to trust completely but Misfits, a winning point-to-pointer, made a promising debut under Rules in a bumper at Musselburgh. Sweet Holly has run three times at Musselburgh and shown steady improvement so she should get into the frame while the four-year-old Very First Time has shown potential in bumpers and his age allowance should aid his cause.
