There are probably question marks hanging over most of these but Veyranno looked to be progressing before turning in a shocker last time at Leicester. Leith Hill Legasi did win at Lingfield in December but hasn't shown the same form since while Cruising Bye may have come up against a progressive chaser at Ffos Las last time, though gets little respite from the handicapper. MR MCGREGOR has won a couple of point-to-points but is struggling to get his head in front under Rules. However, he stays further than this so should be staying on when others have cried enough and his solid jumping will be an asset around here.
