Clearly better was expected of French import Vauban Du Seuil on his UK debut at Taunton in January as he was sent off favourite. He wasn't given a hard time and should do better here though Huntingdon scorer Attwaal should make a bold bid to defy his penalty and King Muro showed promise on his hurdling debut at Stratford. WYOYO won twice on the Flat in Ireland last year. Stamina won't be a problem, nor will the ground, and the newcomer can score at the first time of asking for Tim Vaughan with Richard Johnson taking the reins.
