Genius is penalised for winning at Southwell back in May while point-to-point winner Minella Bobo debuts under Rules. The winning yards of the previous two renewals are represented by Keep Rolling and Allart and the latter is a half-brother to a bumper winner while Wayne Hutchison sticks with Lord Walsingham, well beaten on his debut, rather than stablemate and newcomer Edwardstone. But ECTOR makes most appeal of the newcomers as the €75,000 purchase is a half-brother to the smart Up To Something as well as winners in France and Warren Greatrex’ charge gets the nod to make a winning start.
