ANTUNES is the only one of these to have seen recent action. He was also the only one to make a race of it with the odds-on Good Boy Bobby in a similar race at Bangor last month so looks the one to beat. The market will be the best guide as to what is expected of the others but all were useful hurdlers and most of the scope to become decent chasers.
