Those with experience in bumpers have all been well beaten so far though Chti Balko has been placed in a point-to-point. The remainder make their racecourse debuts with COLONIAL DREAMS preferred. Nicky Henderson’s charge is a half-brother to prolific winning hurdler Light Entertainment and is taken to make a winning start. Glen Forsa and Little Chunk may prove best of the rest with a conditional taking 7lb off the latter’s back.
