This looks a good bumper on paper with plenty of contenders representing powerful yards. The market should be an important aid to punters with the likes of Harry Fry's General Ginger, Jonjo O'Neill's Shutthebackdoor and David Pipe's Courtlands Prince all making debuts but RISK A FINE scored in effortless style between the flags in Ireland before joining Philip Hobbs and is taken to follow up with his fitness assured. Kingscourt Native is another winning Irish pointer to note having joined Colin Tizzard while Horace Hazel and Vodkaontherocks should both improve on debut performances. Mister Chairman has been disappointing however.
