Olly Murphy and Dan Skelton are both double-handed in this. Ayr bumper winner Finawn Bawn looks the pick of the former’s pair but it’s difficult to make a case for either of the latter’s runners as they both lack the scope of some of these. Oakley didn’t get much of a run in a Warwick bumper in April after finishing third earlier at Kempton and looks the type to do well over hurdles. Eldorado Allen showed promise in France and should progress now with Colin Tizzard but this looks a good starting point for SEVARANO (NAP). Impressive in a Kempton bumper on debut, he got no cover in a Grade 2 at Aintree subsequently but still finished an honourable fifth in a race that’s already produced plenty of winners. Star Of Lanka should also have a future.
