King Uther finished second in last year's renewal on his racecourse debut but was tailed off on his recent reappearance. Clondaw Bisto is a point-to-point winner having his first start under Rules and could go well but a speculative vote goes to the newcomer CARQALIN, related to bumper winners in France. Cinderfella is a half-brother to a couple of winners and Doasuwouldbedoneby is another debutant to note in the betting.
