CURRENT EXCHANGE has won seven of his eights starts in point-to-points. Sheila Crow's seven-year-old only does the bare minimum so is difficult to evaluate but should take all the beating if handling these stiffer fences. Lorikarad may be the danger if a mishap at Doncaster hasn't dented his confidence, though he was being ridden when unseating his rider on Town Moor. Findlay's Find's jumping remains a concern but Cave Hill showed improved form to win at Ffos Las last month and can't be ignored and both Marblehead and Gershwinner have the past form to figure.
