What Happens Now has won a couple of point-to-points but it's a bit of a worry to see him sporting headgear for the first time on his debut under Rules. Storm Forecast wasn't disgraced on his debut at Hexham last month but his stable's runners largely remain out of sorts. Robbing The Prey ran well when second at Listowel in September but looked very one-paced when only fourth at Carlisle on his first start for new connections. BENJAMIN TREE is by prolific NH sire Beneficial and Rose Dobbin's bumper horses usually know what's required – he is taken to make a winning start.
