ADMISSION, a winner on the Flat for Michael Bell last year, has been highly tried over hurdles so far. He's sure to appreciate this better ground and, against largely exposed rivals, is fancied to open his account over timber today. Motor Home hasn't raced since finishing second off a slightly lower mark at Plumpton in October and often disappointed on the level, while the 12-year-old Ton-Chee has an even longer absence to overcome. Golden Prospect will like the faster surface but was only a plater on the Flat and Galley Slave's record of one win from 42 starts over timber suggests he'll find at least one too good again here.
