Instant Replay and Charlie Papa Lima both makes their debuts under Rules having shown up well in point-to-points. Calva D'honore won easily at Southwell in June but that's earned him a penalty. THE CALLER (NAP) travelled strongly on his debut at Newton Abbot and rallied well having been hampered as the leaders quickened on the final circuit. He looked a sure-fire future winner that day and can emphasise that point here. Orions Gold is another likely improver and looks best of the rest.
