Donald McCain has done well with ex-pointers in bumpers this season but Rifle Shot didn't show a great deal between the flags and probably isn't one of the stable stars. AMIFUNNYYET has already run well at Chepstow and Ascot and this represents a drop in class. Rebecca Curtis' Helissio gelding can make it third-time lucky here though it wouldn't be a surprise to see Charlie Longsdon's Wadswick Court show up well on his debut. Torgamah Lad is another newcomer worth a second look.
