Michael Scudamore is a fairly infrequent visitor to this track, but he has a couple of realistic opportunities this afternoon, and his six-year-old MONBEG AQUADUDE is of interest on his handicap debut. He cost connections a cool £80,000, and has been slow to show his best form, but having got off the mark at the fourth attempt at Ffos Las recently, an opening mark of 122 could prove exploitable. Bennys King will find this much easier than the Lanzarote Hurdle, with any Venetia Williams trained horse given maximum respect, whilst the in-form recent C&D winner Rhymers Stone might just find this step upto Class 3 company a shade too hot to handle.
