Cabaret Queen and Truckers Lodge are winning point-to-pointers making their debuts under Rules and the former has a very smart pedigree for jumping. Indian Harbour showed very good pace on heavy going at Ayr and should be much better suited by today's conditions but comes up against a couple of newcomers from major yards. Royal Ruby is by Yeats and related to several decent winners though it's a bit disconcerting to see him wearing a hood so the vote goes to the four-year-old WHO'S MY JOCKEY, another son of Yeats and closely related to the brilliant Hurricane Fly.
