Donald McCain excels in bumpers with former pointers but Ofallthestars was a very modest performer between the flags. Blanchland Abbey didn't achieve much at either Ffos Las or Aintree but Typhon De Guye ran well at Towcester in November and Azure Fly only found one too good on his debut under Rules at Ffos Las and is preferred to stablemate Berea Boru. COMINGTOTHERYE needs to step up on her sixth at Southwell but that's entirely possible and she gets the nod ahead of newcomer Presenting Me and the moderate Handsome Buddy.
