An interesting novice. PERFUSE had his Pontefract form boosted when the third won at Newcastle the other day so he gets the vote but Rogue Sea was impressive on his Yarmouth debut and is unlikely to go down without a fight, while Carlton couldn't cope with bottomless ground at Leicester last time but had shown promise on his Doncaster debut prior to that.
