Verdict
POTTERS CORNER was third in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April and didn't disappoint when made odds-on for his hurdling debut at Chepstow two weeks ago. Paul Morgan does well with his small string and the five-year-old looks a decent recruit who could be good enough to defy a penalty. Wolf Sword also has 7lb extra after winning at Carlisle in the spring but is more exposed. Mustmeetalady let supporters down when only second at Worcester last month but is probably capable of better and his yard won this 12 months ago. Dalia Pour Moi won an Irish point-to-point last year and could be anything, though Kid Valentine has a similar profile. Robinshill is a half-brother to three winning jumpers, including Grade 2 winners Megans Joy, so worth a market check on debut.
