LION ROSE SIVOLA (4) looked set to win on racecourse debut at Chepstow only to be beaten into second. Also won an Irish point-to-point last year and that represents the strongest form available. AR AIS ARIS (1) finished runner up in a point during November. Joins powerful connections ahead of initial rules outing. Must go close. Rookie trainer John Dawson has enjoyed a good start with runners in jumpers flat races notably including a Listed winner last week. On that basis consider his entry THE SHANACHIE (9). If none the worse for being brought down on debut LADY BAMBURGH (11) could be worth a market check.
