TOMINATOR, third in the Cesarewitch earlier this month and very a useful stayer on the Flat, is tough and consistent and can take high rank among this season's novice hurdle crop. Jonjo O'Neill has found him a nice opportunity to make a winning debut over obstacles and it will be a big disappointment if he's beaten. Nothing stands out among his rivals with Luggers Hall carrying a penalty for his victory in a handicap at Kempton in April, though he was taking on decent opposition at Chepstow earlier this month. Brother Scott and Harris Garden may have some scope but it will be a surprise if they can trouble the selection if his jumping is up to scratch.
