This probably won't take much winning so Charlie Swan's newcomer Fasolo, full brother to a Flat winner in Germany, could easily be good enough to score on his racecourse bow. Gris Lord and Streamtown have both been successful in point-to-points as has Spiker The Biker, who ran third in a bumper at Navan on his debut under Rules. But a chance is taken on CUTE N' WILLIN, who ran a lot better than his final placing suggests in a competitive maiden hurdle at Navan last month and should have the speed to be competitive here.
