Ziggie was still in front when falling two out here last month. The bumper and point-to-point winner will be fancied to gain compensation today but another recruit from the point-to-point circuit, CROOKSTOWN, can come out on top. Gordon Elliott has booked A P McCoy for the unexposed six-year-old, who can go on to better things. Karingo, Turtle Watch and Lady Gargoyle have all hinted at ability but it will be a surprise if they trouble the likely principals.
