Emma Lavelle doesn't have many runners this early in the season so it may be significant that she's sending out winning Lisronagh pointer Crimson Ark. But he'll need to be useful to get the better of NICELY INDEED, who beat an odds-on shot at Fontwell last month despite running green. Amber Spyglass also arrives off the back of a victory at Fontwell while Tom George's Grand Enterprise is a half-brother to the stable's winning chaser Dare To Endeavour, though may find this too sharp.
