James Fanshawe and Dan Muscutt teamed up to land this last year and THROUBI (2) looks an interesting contender racing for the same combination. Shaped nicely over 1m in all four outings and could have more to give now up in distance on handicap debut. ELEANOR CROSS (7) went down by a nose tackling 1m4f at Lingfield AW recently and cannot be left out of the equation. It's hard to ignore the claims of recent Wolverhampton (1m1/2f) runner-up AVON LIGHT (4) who may prove competitive despite being raised in weights. Debuting with a course win LOVEALOT BEAR (3) retains plenty of potential.
