Verdict
Ballyferris has placed three times between the flags but others may have more scope. KNOWSLEY ROAD, winner of a bumper here in March, could be another Paul Nicholls novice worth following on today’s card. Hot Rod Lincoln, Time For A Pint and the four-year-old Hurricane Highway have all won point-to-points while Imperial Storm already has hurdling experience having finished second in a small race at Market Rasen in August.
