Verdict
TELLHERTHENAME (NAP), a winner of his sole point-to-point this year, made a fine debut over timber when beaten a nose at Ascot. A repeat of that level would probably suffice, although further improvement seems highly likely and he is the one to beat. Lucky Place looked promising on his bumper debut six months ago and rates an obvious threat, along with Jour D‘evasion, who produced a pleasing hurdling debut when filling third spot at Ludlow last month. There are some interesting newcomers to stir into the mix too, none more so than Zain Nights. A six-time winner on the Flat for the Charltons, he could well prove an exciting recruit to the jumping game after joining the currently in-form Lucy Wadham yard.
