OF CORSE I CAN finished runner-up at Ffos Las on his debut under Rules. The winner is now rated 122 and a repeat of that run should give Neil Mulholland’s charge the beating of Fire Lake. The latter is one of the more exposed but My Little Toni should improve after last month’s hurdling debut at Worcester. Triple Choice makes his hurdling bow with blinkers added while Donnie Azoff hasn’t raced since 2020.
