RESTANDBETHANKFUL ran out a clear-cut winner at Market Rasen 15 days ago, despite still seeming rough around the edges, so he looks capable of defying a penalty with further improvement on the cards. Trailboss had a bit in hand when scoring at Newton Abbot recently and is considered the main threat.
