My Condor is rated 5lb higher over fences so probably has to go on the short-list in a low-key opener, though it's been more than two years since he last appeared over the smaller obstacles and has become increasingly difficult to predict. Charles wasn't disgraced when third over 2m4f at Worcester last time, while Cruise Control was placed on the Flat earlier this month though has only managed to make the frame once in six starts over timber. KNOW THE RULES was having his first start for Ben Haslam when third at Sedgefield and has the beating of Loyal Knight on that run. He can get off the mark today.
