Heilan Rebel is learning with experience with Calypso Storm was third on his debut at Hexham. Broad Spectrum was bought by Trevor Hemmings after winning a Sandon point and will be expected to pay his way. Shanroe Street has also won between the flags and Spirit Of Kayf should improve for his course and distance third. Nicky Richards, who took this last year, runs two but jockey bookings suggest that REIVERS LAD, who is out of a useful jumper, is the stable selection and he's preferred to fellow newcomer Smooth River.
