Verdict

Endless Flight, Springcombe Joe and Haldon Hill have hinted at ability and Jasmin Des Bordes has been placed between the flags but this may go to a newcomer. Not A Nail is a brother to winning jumpers Sizing Gold and Top Ten and half-brother to another. Trained by Paul Nicholls, he carries colours that often appear in the winner’s enclosure. The filly Chetsford Water is also worth a market check but EASY WOOD is a full brother to Very Wood, who won the Albert Bartlett in 2014 and landed a bumper at Punchestown on his debut under Rules – he could be a nice prospect.
