Formscan  - Point-to-point winner They Call Me Hugo travelled strongly to make a successful debut under Rules at Ffos Las and could have any amount of improvement to come, especially now stepping up in trip. However, it's hard to oppose CONMAN JOHN, who is two from two over timber and gave a beating to Kasino Des Mottes (fifth) at this venue in October. That earned him an official rating of 135 and if he runs to that level, he will prove hard to beat. Reckless Spending is expected to build on his third at Ascot and isn't ruled out.
