Trouble Shooter, a five-times winner on the Flat, placed at Southwell in June on his hurdles bow but looks vulnerable against three promising recruits making their debut over timber today. IT’S GOOD TO LAUGH won over 1m4f at Chester less than two weeks ago and has been bought to go jumping. He may have too much speed for the dual bumper winner Super Six and winning pointer Gandhi Maker. Netywell is a half-brother to a winning hurdler in France but best watched today.
