Point-to-point and bumper winner MILE HOUSE was well backed on his hurdling debut at Ffos Las last week but his saddle slipped and he ran out. Robert Stephens' charge can recoup losses here as German Flat winner Rockmount River has already come up short twice over course and distance, though did finish second on both occasions. It would be no surprise to see Shah Of Persia do well over timber as he has a NH pedigree. He can make the frame on his introduction as none of the others have shown much so far.
