Protektorat scrambled home here on New Year's Day after looking likely to win a bit easier jumping the last, and his stamina might have been stretched right to it's limits there. King Roland /b> looks nothing but a stayer, on the other hand, and will ensure this doesn't turn into a sprint. He has the potential to be top class, but that goes for one or two others here, and with eight lining up, the suggestion is an each-way bet on Ruthless Article, who was impressive at a lower level last autumn and his form has been franked since. He's presumably been waiting for the drying ground that he seems to operate so well off.
