Cernunnos is eased in grade but hard to catch right. Rocknrollrambo won three times last season but hasn’t raced since May and neither has Looks Like Power. The Cider Maker has a much longer absence to overcome while Nansaroy’s jumping let him down here last month and he may need more time. LORD BRYAN didn’t quite last home over 2m5f at Ffos Las but still finished ahead of Zalgarry. This shorter trip is in his favour and he can open his account over fences at the second time of asking.
