Verdict
Billy No Name finally got off the mark at Wincanton last month but probably lacks the scope of FLEMENSON. Jonjo O'Neill's winning pointer made a successful debut under Rules at Uttoxeter, despite looking in need of the run. It will be a surprise if there isn't plenty more in the locker. Master Butcher and The Wealerdealer have also won between the flags while Beau De Tabel, Champagne West and Sea Wall have shown promise in bumpers. Nick Williams' charge was also third on his hurdles debut and will improve. Rydon Pynes was a promising second at Ffos Las in February but fell at Newbury the following month.
