RUBBER BALL built on his hurdles debut effort when finishing a good third in a Huntingdon maiden 23 days ago and, with further progress anticipated, he shades the vote. Ballyvango has run to a similar level and he's a threat. Wolf Moon, who finished a good second at Huntingdon on Thursday, would be of definite interest if lining up and hurdles-debutant Watching Over You also needs a market check on debut for Olly Murphy.
