Race preview
Bumper winner KING ROLY made a successful debut over hurdles over C&D last month. He had more in hand than the winning margin suggests and is taken to shrug off a penalty, with plenty more to come. Big John Wayne returns to action having looked an unlucky loser at Newcastle back in February when falling at the last. Point-to-point winner Clondaw General is related to winners over timber and is worth a second glance debuting under Rules.
