The in-form Lucinda Russell is doubly represented with Saint Freule and Ain't My Fault. The former is a headstrong individual who has taken time and effort in order to unlock his undoubted ability. Twice successful here over hurdles, he can be expected to be wiser for his recent Sedgefield chasing debut (was in deep) and with a clear round should really be there or thereabouts. However, the preferred option is the winning pointer FIRST ACCOUNT. He showed promise over hurdles early last season, and as one of four horses in the Straightline ownership at his trainers Cheshire base, he appeals as the type to kick on positively now introduced to regulation fences.
