Bold Conduct placed over a slightly longer trip here in January. He made mistakes and was pulled up when making his debut over fences at Taunton later and would have a chance back over the smaller obstacles. Those Tiger Feet won off a 4lb higher mark at Ayr last season but has become disappointing. RIVER TYNE, a non-runner yesterday at Fontwell, has been knocking on the door. She is still creeping up the handicap but this won’t take much winning, despite the numbers. My Ticketyboo may do better now handicapping and has more scope than Wetanwindy and After The Fox.
