Tanarpino went close to making a winning start under Rules over course and distance at the start of the month but is just one of several in this that have already won a point-to-point. ROYALZARO and Kit Casey should both be worth following with the former just fancied to the latter on this occasion as he has a slightly speedier pedigree. Thyne For Gold is another to have shown promise between the flags and Another Frontier represents a yard with a cracking record in contests of this nature. Sartorial Elegance may be a better long-term prospect than Holy Cross and Battle Master.
