CHURCHMAN's best effort of last season came when runner-up over C&D, and he's taken to break his duck on return for an in-form yard. Drakaris looks interesting sent handicapping by the Skeltons, especially if supported. Little Pi is a solid operator at this level and rates another likely danger in a competitive handicap.
