Verdict

GOLDEN POINT stuck to her task pretty well when third at Carlisle a month ago and with this slight step up in trip sure to suit, she's capable of winning a novice against her own sex. Holly Bird and Royal Creek are a couple of potential threats.

2	Modest in bumpers but showed more than on hurdles debut when third of 12 in a novice at Carlisle a month ago. Type to go on progressing. 1st Pick 2 Golden Point (Fr) Jockey: Derek Fox Trainer: Lucinda Russell J: Derek Fox T: Lucinda Russell	100	-	-	-	50%

3	From the family of top-class hurdler/very smart chaser Oscar Whisky and showed something to work on when fourth in a novice at Ayr on hurdling debut. Goes up in trip now and she should be a factor in a race like this. 2nd Pick 3 Holly Bird (Ire) Jockey: Ryan Mania Trainer: Sandy Thomson J: Ryan Mania T: Sandy Thomson	98	-	-	-	34%

6	Sister to bumper winner Benign Dictator, and half-sister to fair hurdler West Is Awake. Made a winning debut in a Ballinrobe bumper for Edmond Kent and bought for £90,000 since. That was over 2 years ago and she understandably needed the run on hurdles debut a month ago. 3rd Pick 6 Royal Creek (Ire) Jockey: Sam Coltherd Trainer: Stuart Coltherd J: Sam Coltherd T: Stuart Coltherd	91	-	-	-	8%
