The Donserelli made a pleasing debut when chasing home Jurisdiction at Newton Abbot two weeks ago and Jeremy Scott's gelding has to be respected but preference is for the newcomer I'VE BEEN FRAMED, with Kaladan rated the best of the rest. The selection makes his rules debut today but was a winner of his only start in a point-to-point in Ireland and with Neil King more than capable of getting one ready, he looks worth chancing. Nether Stream was well beaten on his debut for Philip Hobbs at Aintree recently and is hard to back with any confidence following that run, although he may well improve for it. Nicky Henderson's Dort Tranquille and Don McCain's Sierra Del Plata are two interesting newcomers but of more interest may be Fakenham winner Kaladan, who lost no caste in defeat at Ludlow recently. It is never easy to win bumpers under a penalty though and I've Been Framed looks worth chancing first time up receiving weight from Tim Vaughan's gelding.
