A decidedly trappy opener and it may pay to take a punt on HORST. He's tumbled in the weights and it's possible he will come forward from his first start after wind surgery at Sedgefield 2 weeks ago. Comber Mill ran well in front of the selection then and is feared, along with Lough Legend and veteran Xpo Universel.
