Verdict
Ballycallan Fame was a big-priced winner here on Boxing Day but only third when favourite at Warwick next time and will again shoulder a penalty. LESSER (NAP), who won a maiden point last year, was making his debut under Rules when landing a Bangor bumper in December. He was very green that day so did well to extended his unbeaten record and could develop into a decent hurdler. Gosuatri won a non-thoroughbred French bumper in 2019 but may need today’s run but Sugar Butties is a half-brother to two winners and is worth a market check. .
