In depth
Verdict
Sonny B and Roe Your Own Boat make their debuts under Rules having both been placed in point-to-points. As usual in these events, the betting should provide some pointers to the relative merits of the newcomers but Drunken Counsel and Poznan Pilot are a couple to look out for. Corrigs' dam is a half-sister to winners and Brave Geri is related to a winner over hurdles but any support for FOLLOW THE PALS would boost confidence as he's a brother to Gotno Destination, who scored over hurdles, as well as bumper winner Morgansaccord. He gets the token vote to open his account on his belated debut.
