Most of these have seen better days and the likes of Chef De Cour, Racing Ace, Willywont He and Northern Revoque haven't seen action for a while. The Rustlin Rhino beat Classical Music at Alnwick in January but then finished behind veteran Stagecoach Diamond at Duncombe Park when Miss Tosca was well in arrears. Winning hurdler SCRUM V made a winning start to his point-to-point career at that meeting and could take all the beating here if that has restored his confidence. Mister Kay Bee was successful at Whitwick Manor last month but a bigger danger may be Monogram, who is very lightly raced under Rules and has proved consistent between the flags over the winter.
