BEAT THE BAT made a highly promising start to his career over hurdles when runner-up at Chepstow last month and, with the performance backed up by the timefigure, he has to be considered the one to beat. Ideal des Bordes shaped well behind 2 subsequent winners in a Warwick bumper in May and appeals as the type to do well over hurdles for his top stable, with Welcome To Cartries another to take seriously having joined Paul Nicholls following an easy point success.
