Nonrunner
He's A Bully is getting closer and was only beaten a length by Whats Left over 3m at Exeter last week. He'll probably be a short price to open his account under Rules here, though wouldn't want to go much further. Koultas King has won twice over hurdles and has only found one too good in his last two starts. Supapowers should be thereabouts again while Tribal Dance is back on a winning mark, though was well beaten at Chepstow at the weekend. We'll take a chance on the fitness of WELL REWARDED as he probably has more potential than the others and was significantly well backed over timber at Newton Abbot four weeks ago, despite returning from a lengthy absence.
