Verdict

An encouraging runner-up on debut at Warwick, SANO CITY is fancied to go one better. Show Your Hand travelled well for a long way at Exeter but may have to settle for second again, while Nicky Henderson's newcomer Cruikshank makes appeal on paper.

5	Showed a fair amount of ability when second in a bumper at Warwick on debut. Worth noting a rare National Hunt runner for this stable (19% strike rate in bumpers since mid-1990s) and he's likely the one to beat. 1st Pick 5 Sano City Jockey: Jack Quinlan Trainer: John Berry J: Jack Quinlan T: John Berry	100	-	-	-	25%	3/1

6	With sights lowered, he left his debut form well behind when a strong-travelling second of 5 in a first-time tongue strap at Exeter and is entitled to go close if building on that. 2nd Pick 6 Show Your Hand Jockey: Rian Corcoran Trainer: David Pipe J: Rian Corcoran T: David Pipe	96	-	-	-	10%	10/1
