MAYPOLE CLASS is relatively unexposed after making just four career starts. Jonjo O'Neill's charge was spotted staying on to some effect without really troubling the winner Frightened Rabbit on handicap debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) four weeks ago. Although a subsequent 3lb weights rise is arguably fraction harsh, he still holds every chance of going one place better in a perfectly winnable handicap. Others worthy of a positive mention include Colin Tizzard's Norse Legend, the newly cheek-pieced Honorable and the veteran course specialist The Game Is A Foot.
