Verdict

Colin Tizzard had a Grade 1 winning former point-to-pointer last year in the form of Finian's Oscar and it's just possible he could another top novice hurdler from that sphere in the form of SLATE HOUSE. This son of Presenting impressed on his second start between the flags at Tattersalls Farm, and has what it takes to make a winning debut under rules here. Useful bumper performer Point Of Principle and recent Huntingdon third Dans Le Vent are others to consider.
  1. Slate House
