      Verdict

      Nefyn Point is really the only one with any form so far over hurdles, though he’s not been pulling up any trees. INDIAN OPERA may represent more value as she clearly didn’t stay 3m at Southwell and ran well in a bumper here last year. Look Now has been well beaten in two runs in bumpers so is best watched on his hurdles bow.
