The British Lion holds claims on handicap debut having shown some good form in maiden/novice company, but preference is for SWISSAL. David Dennis' charge is in good form and has been fairly leniently treated by the handicapper. Having put in a fine performance over C&D last time out and with potential to improve further, he may well have a future in better handicaps than this. Bungee Jump acts on the surface and has won over 7f so is also considered.
