In depth
Verdict
The usual eye to the betting ring will throw some light on the chances of Harbour Point, Just The Jobe and Bosworth Boy etc on their hurdles debut. But working on the premise that there is no substitute for experience, they will all have to get the better of Handy Money, who looked to have a bright future ahead of him when making most of the running on his hurdles bow at Kempton last month. Bengal Boy is also of interest back over timber, but has a very poor wins to runs ratio and is not one to rely on too heavily - leaving Phar Breeze as a big danger if she does not give too much trouble down at the start.
