All things being equal, DEEP TROUBLE should finally get off the mark in this at the eighth time of asking under Rules. He's only found one too good in his last four starts in bumpers and maiden hurdles and was beaten less than three lengths at Uttoxeter earlier this month. Bawden Rocks has scope for improvement but has a lot to find to overturn that Uttoxeter form with the selection and Panache has got nowhere near in three runs over timber so far.
