Cloth Cap may be better than he showed at Southwell while Jack Devine had decent form between the flags. Court Liability won a bumper at Fontwell last month on his debut under Rules while Blunder Buss was second in a Sligo bumper in July, though has switched stables since. JUDGE EARLE couldn't quite get to Barton Knoll at Wetherby but that was a promising first run over timber and he can put his experience to good use over this slightly longer trip.
