Verdict
Unbeaten in bumpers after scoring at Ascot on this month’s reappearance, EMITOM is a brother to a point-to-point winner and Warren Greatrex’ charge may prove good enough on his hurdling bow. Milanstorm, Hideaway Vic and Lisnagar Oscar have also shown ability in bumpers while Faithfulness and Movie Theatre are point-to-point winners. Casko D'Airy won a bumper in France but faded badly at Chepstow on a recent debut over hurdles and Mick Manhattan also failed to figure on his first start over timber when well beaten here.
