In depth

Verdict

Point-to-point winner HOWABOUTNOW made a winning debut under Rules when running out a clear winner of a bumper at Bangor last month. A penalty is unlikely to prevent him following up in this company and he'll start a short-price to beat principal rival Blazin White Face. The latter was placed at Perth in both starts in bumpers last summer and makes more appeal than Brieryhill Boy and My Uncle Jack, who were well beaten on their respective debuts. Newcomers Indian Oasis and Young Palm may be best watched on this occasion.
