Point-to-point winner Railway Dillon made an encouraging start under Rules when second in a bumper at this track. He should strip fitter today but may have to play second fiddle again to a useful prospect in MAXDELAS. Nigel Twiston-Davies' French import was runner-up to Zaliapour at Pau last February and the winner went on to land a Listed contest at Enghien earlier this year. Opera Og was a winner between the flags at Liscarroll in March, while Havingotoascoobydo has won a point-to-point and a NH Flat race at Newton Abbot in the last nine months and clearly has some ability.
