R P MCMURPHY impressed when winning at this C&D 11 days ago and this consistent sort is taken to defy a penalty. Fools Rush In is a course specialist on a workable mark but he raced too freely when fifth last week, while Eupator ran up to his best when runner-up at Lingfield and would be a player if arriving in similar form.
