Verdict

JOE SMOOTH can take this for Noel Meade as the son of No Excuse Needed is the first foal of a mare who won over 1m6f on the Flat. Oscar Hill is related to winning bumpers but has much more of a jumping pedigree as has Watchmetail, whose relatives on his dam's side are mainly chasers. Staying Article is out of an unraced mare who is related to a couple of winning bumpers though he's likely to do better when sent over hurdles.
