Verdict
NEW FOUND FAME made a winning debut over hurdles when scoring at Uttoxeter and may well defy a penalty in this company. Airtothethrone was narrowly beaten over track and trip on his hurdling bow at the end of last year but Lookondebrightside was still beaten a long way when second at Listowel and has switched yards. Spring Meadow, Hymac and The Scorpion King have form in bumpers while Rouge De L'quest is a point-to-point winner.
