Myboysam was second at Huntingdon a year ago but didn’t reproduce that form on a return visit in January. Ruthless Article has his first run for Rebecca Curtis but was second at Downpatrick in March. Flic Ou Voyou has had wind surgery since a beaten favourite at Fontwell in April while Richard Johnson prefers the Coastal Path newcomer Espion to At Its Own Expense, though he’s bred to need further. JEREMIAH JAMES is a nicely-bred half-brother to winning hurdler/chaser House Of Rules, who also won a bumper. He would not need to be a world-beater to make a winning debut.
