Verdict

GARRETTSTOWN made his hurdling debut in a tougher race at Newbury last month and was well beaten. But he won a bumper in testing ground earlier this year and much better is expected today with Richard Johnson staying loyal. Hitman Fred showed major improvement when third over timber at Hexham during the week while dual bumper winner Paper Promise is preferred to Huntsmans Jog as both go hurdling for the first time. Maiden point-to-point winner The Con Man has joined Donald McCain’s yard and is worth a second glance on his debut under Rules.
