A big run in the opener from Mount Rushmoore could be a good omen for fellow point-to-point convert Supremely Lucky. Kapgarry has won between the flags and has joined a powerful NH yard. Densfirth showed definite promise when fourth at Exeter but Kauto The King will need to improve on a course and distance third if he’s to win races. Feel The Pinch is a likely improver, however, and En Meme Temps could be a newcomer to note but there was a lot to like about PEMBERLEY’s first run at Hereford and normal improvement should see him in the firing-line here.
