Ben Pauling has his string in good order and NORTHERN BOUND could help continue the yard's good run of form. The 8-y-o is entitled to come on for last month's reappearance spin over hurdles (first start for five months) and is likely to be seen in an altogether better light back in this sphere with cheekpieces refitted. Royal Ruby is bound to be popular on the back of his Plumpton success, but El Paso Wood will be the main danger if he takes his chance.
