David Pipe runs a couple of former pointers in this with Tom Scudamore on board Kepagge. SWITCH HITTER landed a gamble between the flags in April and the much older second has proved himself to be useful over fences this summer. Paul Nicholls now handles the four-year-old, who is a half-brother to a winning hurdler/chaser, and he is likely to take all the beating. Big G was second at Stratford in March and Coeur Serein was third at Roscommon in May for former connections. Lamanver Storm is from a very successful jumping family so is well worth a market check along with Monarchofthegrange.
