Verdict

Thebarrowman gained a victory in a point-to-point at Maralin last March and there's no reason why he shouldn't do well in this sphere as he's related to winners. Are You Bidding is a full-brother to the useful jumper No More Heroes and a half-brother to a couple of other winners. He'll be ready for this and will be fancied to make a successful start but LAVERTEEN may have his measure. Noel Meade's charge cost £50,000 and is the third foal of a mare who has already produced two decent winners so looks one to follow. Lion's Cave is related to three winning point-to-pointers so will do better when facing a set of obstacles, though should have the beating of the mare Kildaven Spider.
