POTTERS APPROACH has offered plenty to work on in novice and maiden hurdle company and, having won a 3m point-to-point previously, it would be no surprise to see this much longer trip work to his advantage on his handicap debut. The step up in distance should also suit Ultimate Horseman whilst the likely better ground should see Monsieur Arkadin in a better light after he floundered in the mud at Southwell last time.
