There are four point-to-point winners contesting this. School Days Over has already won a bumper and Jack Hogan’s claim takes care of his penalty but SAINT DAVY may be the one with most scope having landed the odds at Quakerstown a little under a year ago with the minimum of fuss. General Officer, who won a Tinahely maiden in February, might be the danger with Fetch It Yourself, the first foal to race of a winning hurdler and chaser, probably the pick of those seeing a racecourse for the first time.
