Areuwitmenow and Music Of The Morn were both well beaten behind Rockiteer at Ludlow last time and this should rest between recent point-to-point winners DONE A RUNNER and Warwickshire. The former was the most impressive last time and, as he is making his debut under Rules today, possibly has more scope than the latter though there may not be much between the pair. Big Georgie could also figure in handling these bigger fences, though has a poor strike-rate.
