Point-to-point winner MARTIN PLAGE finished a respectable third in a Cheltenham bumper last month and looks up to winning one of these. Diamond Koda went close at Market Rasen back in May and should also go well while Touquet is related to a hurdle and chase winner in France. Super Sabre Sam is a brother to a winning chaser and a half-brother to several other winners while Jack Sparrow Grey can include a bumper winner among his winning relatives.
