PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL has made a solid start to life over fences and, having pulled clear with an upwardly-mobile rival at Worcester last month, Brian Ellison's charge gets the vote to double his tally in this sphere. Croagh Patrick opened his account over C&D back in March so he's fancied to give the selection most to think about on reappearance, with Breaking The Ice rounding off the shortlist.
