NUMITOR shaped with bags of enthusiasm on his recent return at Exeter and, having slipped to further in the weights, he makes a fair amount of appeal. Champagne Mystery shaped very well in a hot Cheltenham handicap on his penultimate start and is a big player on his first foray into veterans company, with Riders Onthe Storm also feared following an encouraging run at Doncaster 4 weeks ago.
