Donald McCain does well here and can get punters off to a winning start with CYGNET, successful at Southwell last month before running well in better company here and at Market Rasen. Art Broker got off the mark at the eighth time of asking when justifying favouritism at Ffos Las and will make a bold bid to follow up here but Cody Wyoming has struggled since winning a maiden hurdle at Lingfield in March and looks up against it again under his penalty. Former pointer Comrade Bob may be best of the rest.
