Several have been in good form between the flags and Supreme Commander sold for £120,000 having finished runner-up in Ireland last year. Racing Snake and Famous Clermont debut over regulation fences on the back of point-to-point victories though Broadclyst has had 18 attempts under Rules so far without winning. But INDIROCCO found only Marracudja, rated 131, too good in one of these events at Leicester last month and is taken to go one better in this lesser company with a similar effort.
