ROGER RAREBIT opened his account in emphatic fashion under this rider at Ffos Las last week and, unpenalised for that success, he should take all the beating in what looks a similarly weak affair. Dom Bosco wasn’t seen to best effect on handicap bow at Huntingdon last month so he may emerge as the main threat, while Charging Point and White Rhino should be capable of better now handicapping so they complete the shortlist
