Charlie Mann's new recruit Charming Lad looks interesting on rules debut having been progressive in the pointing scene but this time he's past over in favour of RITH BOB. The mare returned from a very successful spell between the flags to twice go close under rules and with her well served by the framing of this she should go in. Mtpockets is also a winning pointer that has shown some promise under rules while Mic Aubin has claims if running up to his rating. Lots to consider when finding the winner here but Rith Bob has the best form.
