Verdict
Wee Rupert hinted at ability at Ascot in the autumn but ran poorly at Lingfield in January. Carole's Tzarina probably need to improve on her two runs on Polytrack but cheekpieces are added today. FURLOUGH ME ran green at Wincanton earlier this month but stayed on strongly once the penny dropped and should get off the mark here.
