HALLMARK STAR made some late headway to finish sixth on his debut at Leicester with today's rival Jericho over four lengths further back and will have come on for the experience. That form looks slightly stronger than Feisty Champion's debut effort at Salisbury so Gerard Butler's gelding gets the vote. Landown Littlerock would have solid claims if reproducing the best of his maiden form, but something went badly awry on his handicap debut at Nottingham and he may be best watched for now, while Bursting Bubbles may also need more time judged on her debut third at Kempton.
