Verdict

FRANK STAMPER's opening hurdle mark of 100 looks generous, particularly as there is almost certainly more to come from him. Andy Irvine pair Ephyra and Suzy Wood also appeal as possible improvers now handicapping for the first time over hurdles and may give Warren Greatrex's charge most to think about.
