Second in all five starts this year, Peppay Le Pugh is now 0-20 under Rules but it would be no surprise if a switch to Dan Skelton brought about that elusive first victory. NO NO CARDINAL is hardly prolific himself but usually runs his race and is now 2lb lower than when successful at Newton Abbot just over a year ago. He gets the vote though Southwell second Holeinthewall Bar is a danger and Mountain Of Angels only found one too good here at the start of the month. Deise Vu has tubled down the ratings and Torhousemuir looks best of the rest.
