MATTERHORN didn't appear to find a great deal off the bridle when runner-up in a Taunton novice last time, but it would be premature to question his constitution at this early stage and, in any case, that form looks all the better in light of the easy subsequent victories of the two that he divided. With improvement likely now pitched into a handicap, he gets the nod ahead of Aurigny Mill, who did the job well at Wincanton recently, and fellow handicap debutant Rock House.
