Winning pointer Lady Tremaine cannot be discounted with the McCain yard is such rollicking form but she faces a couple of really interesting sorts, both of whom arrive unbeaten. Sayadam stayed on stoutly to make a winning debut under Rules in a Kelso bumper in March and followed up with a smooth success in a Warwick maiden hurdle a couple of months later on soft ground. He is clearly one to follow but that is also the case with LUPUS REGEM who impressed with the style of his Wetherby bumper victory in early spring. It's not an easy choice between two progressive sorts but the Murphy inmate gets the nod in receipt of 7lb plus the 3lb claim of his rider.
