The Fish Pot has been well beaten in both starts so far and clearly isn't one of Paul Nicholls' stable stars but Levantera, though a maiden on the Flat, didn't run badly on her hurdling debut at Towcester and may be capable of better. Porgy hinted at ability over timber in the autumn and has a had a couple of runs on the Flat recently and is preferred to the erratic Edlomond but ENROLLER, once a decent sort on the level, got off the mark over hurdles in this grade at Towcester earlier this month and may well be capable of following up.
