RUMOURSAREFLYING has filled the runner-up spot at Southwell and Fakenham, giving the impression that a step up in trip might see him in a better light. In a contest lacking much on depth on paper, Pam Sly's six-year-old is taken to come out on top. Land Genie is expected to bounce back from a Chepstow fall on his return from a break, while it wouldn't be a surprise if Jukebox Fury, a half-brother to Don Poli, left behind his debut effort at Doncaster, especially with that performance coming when the yard's runners were under a cloud.

DEXPERADO went close on his handicap debut over C&D when benefiting from a step up in trip and the five-year-old is more than capable of building on that display, even with a 4lb higher mark. Long Draw would be a major threat if reproducing the performance that carried him into third at Taunton in December, while others for the shortlist include She's A Rocca, a winner at Southwell in October, and Mr Hope Street.

DIBBLE DECKER improved from his return to action when scoring at Wincanton before just being denied by a neck at Huntingdon. The eight-year-old doesn't appear to have reached his ceiling yet and is taken to get his head back in front on this occasion. Jet Plane bounced back at Sandown and is a player off 2lb higher, while a drop in class and the application of blinkers for the first time might see a revival from War Lord.

King Of The Road won comfortably over an extended 2m2f here and demands respect under a 7lb penalty, while Huntingdon scorer Ruler Legend must also enter calculations. The vote, however, goes to handicap debutant SMURFETTE. She has performed creditably in each of her four starts to date, particularly when chasing home the useful Lunar Discovery (since Listed-placed) at Hexham last time, and an opening mark of 100 seems fairly lenient.

Difficult to be too confident about any of these, but MOORE CLOUDS had a genuine excuse for her lacklustre performance at Catterick and had been in good form prior to that. The nine-year-old won her only previous chase outing at this venue and might be worth chancing. Claret Dabbler lines up off the same mark as when placed at Kelso and could go well again, while Jet Of Dreams also holds claims returning after wind surgery.

TRAMUNTANA didn't have much to beat when successful on his racecourse bow at Fakenham in November, but Olly Murphy's gelding won easily and merits the utmost respect as a result. Off The Jury failed to build on a promising debut effort under Rules at Doncaster when fourth at Kempton last time. However, he should not be underestimated in this company, while The New Lion is the pick of the newcomers.

TYPHOON FLYER showed promise on both previous appearances under Rules in Ireland and it would be no surprise to see the son of Walk In The Park make a winning start for new connections. Western Harmony was fourth on his Rules debut at Doncaster in January and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Woodland Park and Boston Boy.
