Farbreaga has been placed in point-to-points and a bumper and makes his hurdling debut today. Gtaab's recent fourth in a Wincanton handicap was his best effort to date over timber but Plumpton third Baroque Star, already a winner between the flags, arguably has more scope. Flat winner Lombok has shown little enthusiasm for jumping so far, however, while newcomer Consult is probably best watched after a break. LORD LIATH's second to the useful Tornado Bob at Leicester is easily the best form on offer in this and it will be a surprise if Alan King's charge doesn't get off the mark today.
