3/1
Point winner who made a successful handicap debut in this sphere at Southwell (20.4f) in November. Shaped really well from 10 lb higher in his follow-up bid at Wetherby and returned to that sort of form when third at Exeter (21.6f) 11 days ago, finishing well. Handy 7 lb claimer now takes over.

11/5
Won sole start in Irish points and left his previous Rules efforts behind when second in 14-runner maiden here (19.6f) 4 weeks ago, jumping better and pulling long way clear of rest. Excellent chance with a repeat.

Forecasts

No But I Will (11/5), Storminhome (5/2), Sporting Mike (3/1), Georges Saint (6/1), Pougne Aminta (13/2), Lucky Jo Jo (40/1), Yes And Yes (66/1), Loch Garman Aris (150/1)

Verdict

SPORTING MIKE caught the eye finishing well from an unpromising position at Exeter 11 days ago and could be up to defying a penalty back in a novice with a good-value claimer now taking over in the saddle. The selection's stablemate Storminhome is also a strong contender, while No But I Will and improving mare Pougne Aminta add further spice to the race.
