Winning pointer The Fish Pot didn't show much on his debut under Rules at Ludlow and may need more time but there are possibilities about Sunset Place, who was second at Stratford on his only start over hurdles and has been in action on the all-weather over the winter. Wayward Glance ran in snatches when third at Fakenham last time but is another for the short-list, though BATTLECAT looks a more straightforward ride. He's come up against some decent novices in his career to date and should finally get off the mark here. Yesyoucan ran better than his starting price suggested he would at Plumpton and may be worth watching when tackling handicaps this summer.
