Queen Among Kings is 0-12 but has only found one too good the last twice at Plumpton. Flat winner Lissitzky ran his best race so far over hurdles when second at Southwell but was still beaten almost 20 lengths. Amanofhisword still has time on his side but Always Able looks thoroughly exposed whereas Wireless Operator has only run twice over timber so far and placed in both. SIXTY DOLLARS MORE makes his handicap debut off a fair mark and, with his yard back in form at the end of last season, gets a tentative vote.
