TFOU (NAP) has a smart pedigree for jumping and is expected to do much better now tackling fences so gets the nod in a poor race. Fever Roque landed a novices' handicap over hurdles on Boxing Day but hasn't run since the following month. Oishin was well beaten when placed at Perth while jumping fences wouldn't have been on the agenda for Toucan Sam, a son of Frankel and a half-brother to a Group 1 winner. None of the remainder have shown much but the market could prove a good guide.
