Reaping The Reward's second to Definite All Star at Perth was a solid effort and he shouldn't be far away, while bumper winner Jaya Bella was second at Wetherby on her debut over hurdles and should make a bold bid to go one better here but we'll give another chance to DUNOWEN POINT. Donald McCain's gelding probably needed the run when only fifth at Bangor earlier this month having shown promise on his hurdling bow at Catterick in January. Takaatuf was runner-up at Sedgefield last time but is more exposed than most and Storm Breaker arguably has more scope, though hasn't raced since tailed off at Limerick in March.
