Verdict
Rowdy Rustler was a good second at Newcastle against more experienced rivals and will be fancied to go one better. There was also promise in High Moon’s debut third over the larger obstacles at Catterick while Barony Legends can only improve on his fourth at Uttoxeter. But Nick Alexander’s GAILLIMH A STOR should come into his own now switched to fences given he has already won between the flags.
