        Verdict

        Hurdling experience is thin on the ground in this second division but winning pointer and bumper Truckers Steel was third at Southwell in December. Bincombe won three times over fences last season and has been placed in four runs over timber but bumper winners Bandit Country and Onwiththeparty have the greater scope. RELENTLESS DREAMER didn't have much in bumpers but this stiffer test of stamina should be right up his street and Rebecca Curtis has booked Barry Geraghty for his hurdling debut. He could go close if jumping soundly.
