SCAMALLACH LIATH has already tasted success between the flags and there was enough encouragement in his hurdling debut at Plumpton to think he can get off the mark at the second attempt under Rules. Not A Light shaped well at Chepstow on his first go over hurdles and Scene One is likely to have a bigger effort in him, so they're both dangers in what could be an above-average novice.
