Most of these are making their racecourse debut but those with experience are nothing special. Nicky Henderson won this 12 months ago and NO ORDINARY JOE, who runs in the famous McManus green and gold, can follow suit as he has a nice pedigree for jumping. Duke Of Rockingham is a son of Kayf Tara and cost €130,00. No Hubs No Hoobs is a full brother to a couple of winners and cost €110,000 with Breakwater Buoy, who is from a proven jumping family, also worth a second look.
