In receipt of 7lb from previous winner Lechlade Magician, well regarded point-to-point winner SMITHS CROSS is fancied to make a winning bumper debut. He cost connections a tidy sum and might have been found a good opportunity. Lechlade Magician is unlikely to go down without a fight though, and you couldn't rule Champagneandiamonds or Clondaw Fixer out of it either.
