Verdict
All eyes here will be on FERNY HOLLOW. A winning point-to-pointer, he improved to such an extent in bumpers that he ended up landing the championship event at Cheltenham and will be expected to take high order over timber this campaign. He should get a real workout from Bob Olinger, who landed a point at Turtulla by 15 lengths then came here for a bumper which he won in a canter. He could be anything and the pair should dominate this. The remainder look as though they are playing for place money with the latter's stable companion One Free Man, a half-brother to a couple of winners, possibly the best of them.
