It's unusual to see an Irish challenger in one of these so Shark Hanlon's Woodbrook Boy, a dual point-to-point winner at the turn of the year, has to be respected. WHENHELLBROKELOOSE was an impressive winner on Bangor's point-to-point course last month and has joined Alan King so he looks the one to be on though David Pipe's Mount Nelly was only beaten a neck into third on her debut between the flags at Barbury. Grumpy Charley beat The Galloping Bear a length when both made their debuts at Milborne St Andrew and should confirm the form on today's terms.
