      Verdict

      Minellatillmorning was third in an Irish point-to-point in November won by Benatar, who runs in the opener. Sensible Friend was third at Huntingdon on debut but well beaten on Polytrack next time. Two newcomers catch the eye in this with Dell Oro being a half-brother to a three-times Flat winner in France and REBOUND (NAP) being a full brother to winners on the flat and over hurdles, including the smart Bob Le Beau. The latter’s trainer, Anthony Honeyball, has a one-in-three strike rate with his bumper horses here so he gets the nod.
