Keltic Rhythm keeps knocking on the door but may find one too good again here. Make Me A Fortune has been placed in a point-to-point while Il Testone was third at Newcastle last time, though appears a little one-paced. Say When is a half-brother to the stable winning hurdler Forresters Folly but fellow debutant KING'S OPUS possibly have more speed in his pedigree and is just preferred on this occasion.
