Only two of these have any racecourse experience but Marcus Tregoning's Biretta was placed at Towcester and will know more today. Snow Prince is a rare runner under NH Rules for Clive Cox and he's booked the champ to ride while Sparky also hails from a Flat yard. Theligny and Board Of Trade are others to consider but there will be high hopes for WISHFULL DREAMING. He's a full brother to the top-class hurdler/chaser Wishfull Thinking and can make a winning debut before holding his own in better company.
