Didn't show much at Warwick on debut and others make more appeal.

Willmount (2/5), Broomhill Road (2/1), Cave Bleu (20/1), Quick Of The Night (50/1), Catch The Crumpet (50/1)

WILLMOUNT has won both starts to date, the first of which came between the flags, and he's fancied to land the hat-trick over the same C&D over which he made a winning Rules debut. Broomhill Road looks appealing on paper and is likely to emerge as the main danger.
