Captain Square was left clear on his debut over hurdles when the favourite fell at Newton Abbot with Dicktate a long way behind in third. Mucuna also won at Newton Abbot last week but was beaten by SHIPTON MOYNE at Market Rasen earlier and the latter looks to have leading claims on that form. Rolypolymoly is rated higher on the Flat than both Mutara and My Rosa's Gold as all three make their hurdling debuts.
