COURTANDBOULD clipped heels and fell at Newcastle in February having run well on his debut under Rules at Lingfield. Providing he is none the worse for that experience, Fergal O’Brien’s former pointer can land this ahead of the filly She's Our Darby. The latter has a really nice pedigree for jumping, however, and is worth following. Lively Citizen led for a long way here in December and is the likely pace angle again while Bucks Dream is worth a market check.
