Go On Henry has joined the classy Hobbs team from the pointing arena where he doesn't boast an especially auspicious record. The market should inform as to stable expectations. Volcanic has 12 runs to his name over fences but has yet to score despite a number of small-field placed efforts. His experience could prove vital but WEATHER BABE is preferred despite making her fencing debut. She was rated 11lb higher than Volcanic over hurdles so has to be the choice here in receipt of 7lb from the McCain inmate.
