The Butcher Said improved for a change of stable when runner-up in a Market Rasen maiden last month. Somekindofstar, runner-up in a point, was making a reasonable hurdling debut when falling two out at Warwick. Mister Murchan won a point in January before finding a Plumpton bumper much too short so he can do better but this looks destined for WELSH SAINT, who made all in a Warwick bumper in March and is a full-brother to four winning jumpers.
