Court Dismissed made his handicap debut in better company than this at Sedgefield and acquitted himself well when fourth to Make Me A Fortune. But IT'S A MANS WORLD also drops in class after a good effort at Ayr behind the progressive Aristo Du Plessis and Brian Ellison's charge may come out best in this. There Is No Point won a maiden hurdle last year but broke a blood vessel on her return to action in March while Heist goes handicapping for the first time having won his maiden over these hurdles back in August. Good Of Luck represents last year's winning yard but hasn't raced since September and Watt Broderick is preferred.
