In depth

Verdict

NICKNAME EXIT has been beaten at short odds in two bumpers since finishing runner-up between the flags but he's much more likely to do better over jumps and this looks a decent opportunity. Sarwistan has shown the occasional glimpse of ability, including in his one start over timber, though Frankie Ballou looks the main threat. Paul Rothwell's charge has been gradually improving and ran a fine race behind Westerner Point here last time. Bright Prospect was a 33/1 chance on his hurdling bow at Wexford but belied those odds with a very encouraging display and he can get into contention.
