Verdict
RUMBAVU was only beaten half-a-length on his sole start under Rules in 2010 but has proved a consistent performer between the flags since and Sam Waley-Cohen has travelled up for the ride. He should take all the beating as Rathcor is possibly a little flattered by recent form figures and Alfoisin was beaten a long when third at Market Rasen, as was My Mate Vic at Ayr. Treacle Moon won a point-to-point at Witton Castle last month but needs to step up again to figure here.
