KING OF ANSWERS was much improved from hurdling debut when scoring at Newcastle last month and, with the performance more or less backed up by the timefigure, he's selected to defy a penalty at the first time of asking. I'm A Lumberjack could settle better returning to a bigger field and remains with potential, with The Bluesman and winning Irish pointer The Jukebox Kid others to note in an interesting novice hurdle.
