Rusty Nail is the only one of these with form on fast ground. He finished second over track and trip in September and is 6lb lower. He also has a 7lb claimer on board so can't be ruled out, despite racing from out of the handicap. But PERFECT TIMING surely has more scope and the switch to fences should see Johnny Farrelly's six-year-old in a better light - he was placed three times off similar marks over hurdles in the autumn. Wishes And Stars has failed to win in 15 career starts but usually takes on better opposition and Mikey Ennis' claim will aid her cause in what is a very weak affair.
