ONE FOR THE GUV'NR's (NAP) debut second to Robinsfirth at Exeter was a solid effort and he had no problems going one better at Ludlow. The third in that race has franked the form since and Nicky Henderson's gelding can concede the weight the four-year-old Albahar, who has looked very one-paced so far. Rude And Crude has shown enough to suggest a first victory isn't far away while Gary Moore's newcomer Cry Fury and Dabadiyan were both useful on the Flat, though had lost their way when last seen.
