Verdict
Though a winning stayer on the Flat, Gift Of Raaj is going jumping late in life. Fiston De Becon has been disappointing over hurdles and BALLYBEG BOSS has more scope. He won a point last year before joining Donald McCain and was second in a bumper on his debut under Rules. Lethal Industry arrives with similar credentials so looks the danger having a first run for Sam Drinkwater but Harkangel was beaten a long way when third at Southwell.
