Verdict
Ramonex was easy to back on his debut at Ludlow in May but ran well for a long way. Alfie's Choice started favourite on his debut at Carlisle in April and has a nice pedigree for jumping but so does BLACK MISCHIEF and he's certain to improve on his third at Uttoxeter in March when held up off the pace. Eaton Hill improved on his introduction when second at Ffos Las while newcomer Holy Street is worth a market check given he's a half-brother to two winning jumpers. Sumkindofking easily won a point-to-point at Inch in March but this could be an above-average bumper.
