Verdict

There are a few former pointers making their debuts or second appearances under rules today, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see something spring a surprise. However, the tentative choice is ONE MORE HERO. A £100,000 purchase for some top connections, he won his second point in good style, and should be the one to beat if managing to overcome a break of coming up for a year. The Happy Chappy is another one who was promising in points, and will be a player if bouncing back from his disappointing defeat on his debut under rules at Hereford, while Champion Bumper fifth Westend Story is also interesting upped in trip. 1. One More Hero 2. The Happy Chappy 3. Westend Story
