Greaneteen made his UK debut in what was probably a hot race at Sandown and he’ll strip fitter here. Article Fifty, a winner between the flags and of a bumper, was placed twice last season and has had wind surgery since last seen. Glen Vine was very green in a Worcester bumper in October but still finished second and should win races over timber. CARIBERT (NAP) won bumpers at Wincanton and Newbury last season and was a good second here in between. He has Grade 1 entries and can make a belated winning debut over hurdles.
