Autumn Equinox and He's A Knowall both landed their sole point-to-point but are difficult to assess with confidence but Moot Court, a good second in an Irish point last October, has joined Fergal O'Brien's thriving operation and should know what's required. However, the choice is Nicky Henderson's newcomer QUICKBUCK as his yard has a splendid record in similar contests and his pedigree makes for appealing reading. Welsh Wayne is a first runner in this sphere for Tom Dascombe and is worth a market check along with Bob's Bar and Dragoon Springs.
