Verdict
Pointed And Sharp came good over a shorter trip here last month but a 7lb rise seems harsh. Gleno won three times over hurdles last season, including once here, but has been allotted top weight on his fencing bow. Annie Bonny, Reallyradical and De Forgotten One are also having a first run of the campaign but the latter has won a point-to-point. INCLUDED is race-fit and has yet to run a bad race over the larger obstacles - she deserves to get her head in front.
