Winning-pointer AKI BOMAYE made an encouraging start over fences when second at Worcester on his handicap bow/return and should have more to offer over this longer trip. Lord Sparky has an excellent record around here and arrives on the back of a good second at Southwell, while Peur de Rien should prove sharper for his return.
