TWENTY EIGHT GUNS has yet to win under Rules though has gone close over hurdles on more than one occasion. He should be sharper for a recent chasing debut at Hexham. Taroum has won four times over timber and has placed over fences before while Triggywinkle won over fences at Newton Abbot back in May and remains 4lb higher. Galros Lady may improve on her first start for Tim Vaughan but Carobello and Get Back To Me are harder to recommend.
