Verdict
Benheir ran out an easy winner of a bumper at Towcester in November and could be thereabouts if taking to hurdling, but ROWLESTONE LAD makes more appeal. He'd shown little over timber until finishing second at Huntingdon last time and John Flint's charge should be able to build on that now the penny's dropped. Point-to-point winner King's Sunset was a well beaten third on his hurdling debut and pulled-up last time, while Prankster showed little on his first start over timber though he had some smart form on the Flat for Andre Fabre in France in 2009.
