In depth
Verdict
As is usually the case with a field of newcomers the betting may offer some clues and any support for BAMBYS BOY could prove significant. Keith Reveley's charge is out of of a winner over hurdles and fences while Been Decided is a half-brother to winning hurdler Abnaki. Pottinger's dam is a dual bumper winner and Breakdown Cover is related to a point-to-point winner while Black Ink is another to note.
