Alan King has enjoyed some success with his bumper horses recently so point-to-point winner Tales To Tell has to go on the short-list on his debut under Rules. Tony Martin won't have sent another recruit from the point-to-point field, Sunny Ledgend, across the Irish Sea for the good of his health while there was some promise in the debut of Toomyvara at Hereford in April. Cresswell Crusader carries a penalty for his win at Chepstow in February but has experience on his side, though he may struggle to give weight to FIVE RIVERS. The Accordion gelding caught the eye under a considerate ride on his debut at Wincanton and improvement is expected here.
