ROCKET RUFUS (3) ran well on his sole point-to-point start last April and has hinted at ability in three novice hurdles this season. Stable amongst the winners in recent weeks and this five-year-old is considered back up in trip on handicap debut. The market may help with what is expected from top weight SANGIOVESE (1) after 325 days off. Did well when second in testing conditions at Fontwell last March and is clearly capable down in class off a 1lb lower mark. TRAMUNTANA (4) won a jumpers flat November 2023. Could improve delivering initial handicap outing for a powerful stable. Previous course winner JACK THE SAVAGE (2) might also feature after a break.
