Mortlach, a winning pointer, found only one too good at Southwell on his debut under Rules. Former Mark Johnston inmate Thai Terrier should make a hurdler given his proven stamina while Marmalaid is an almost certain improver. Blackcauseway placed over 2m5f here last month so has to go on the shortlist but Monte Igueldo is starting to look exposed. BETTERFOREVERYONE was very green at Wincanton six weeks ago so did well to finish fourth - he’ll know a lot more today.
