This might be an above-average bumper as Wait A Second is a half-brother to the stable's useful hurdle/chaser Rate Of Knots. For 'N' Against is by Presenting so probably has a future over jumps and Mr Kit Cat represents last year's successful trainer while Ballyknock Lad has already won a point-to-point and his yard have a decent record here in bumpers. Ghost River won easily at Perth in June but has a 7lb penalty to defy. BEAST OF BURDEN, like Rock Doctor, is by Flemensfirth. He's also a half-brother to the useful August Hill so is fancied to make a winning debut.
