Verdict
DODDIETHEGREAT is penalised for making a winning debut at Ludlow. But he beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and Nicky Henderson’s charge should have the measure of these. Twistedfirestarter placed at Fakenham on his debut and is preferred to Chris Cool while point-to-point winner Starevitch is fitted with a tongue-tie for his debut under Rules. Walkonthewildside is the second foal of a winning hurdler/chaser and a newcomer to note.
