      Verdict

      Point-to-point winner EQUUS SECRETUS made a winning debut over hurdles at Huntingdon recently. Ben Pauling’s charge should be suited by the longer trip and can defy a penalty. Another Stowaway went close over 2m4f at Aintree last month and can figure ahead of Bekkensfirth, who hasn’t raced since 2015 though he won a chase at Leicester in that year. Allmyown is a winning pointer but was pulled-up on his hurdling bow as was Playful Prince while Rollerball Rocco debuts under Rules.
