Check out the newcomers in the market, notably John Ferguson's Father Edward and Colin Tizzard's Old Vic gelding, Henwood. The latter makes most appeal on paper whilst Just Archie showed enough when runner-up at Plumpton last time to indicate a win is possible in a small bumper. However, NIcky Henderson is a master in such contests and the latest performance of TILLER BELLE, a staying-on third at Southwell last time, suggested that not only is the Revoque mare capable of finding an ordinary bumper but that this extra quarter of a mile will suit admirably. She should be good enough to visit the winner's circle here.
