PENMORE MILL looked sure of finishing second on his debut under Rules at Kelso but unseated his rider at the last. The winner of five of his six starts in point-to-points, he can take this with a clear round. Swallows Delight has a decent second in one of these events at Cheltenham to his name and could figure while Bleuvito was placed over regulation fences last year and landed a point-to-point recently. Shy John is a multiple winner between the flags and is worth noting too.
