Verdict

A really trappy contest this with six hurdling debutants who have all shown ability in either bumpers or point-to-points. A chance is taken on SMACKWATER JACK who went down by the minimum margin to a useful bumper horse from Nicky Henderson's yard on debut in a race that is working out pretty well. Captain Drake rates the main danger having won his lone bumper at Towcester and also showed promise in his lone point-to-point while Quoi De Neuf is another of significant appeal on his debut under rules after a very impressive success in his lone point-to-point.
