The unexposed TOWNHILL might prove the answer to this competitive opener. The way Tom Lacey's charge rallied for third in a big field at Exeter last month suggests he could have more to come now stepping back up to around 3m. Pipers Cross made a sound start for Robbie Llewellyn when second at Bangor and could have more to offer for her new yard so she's second choice ahead of I'm On My Way and the consistent Rickety Gate.
