Point-to-point winner BENNY’S OSCAR made a winning debut over hurdles at Warwick on his first start for Dan Skelton’s yard when beating the odds-on favourite. He can defy a penalty on that evidence and is preferred to stablemate and hurdling newcomer All Shook Up. Gibberwell is penalised for an earlier success at Wexford and Ripper Roo makes more appeal on last month’s third at Catterick. Moonlight Beam placed at Sedgefield without threatening on his hurdling bow while Mr Melda can only improve.
