Teenager Firth Of The Clyde last ran over hurdles in 2013 and hasn’t raced anywhere since February. Skipping On is much better over fences but there should be more to come from Nefyn Point, who has had just the two career starts and been placed in both. SCHIEHALLION MUNRO was an easy winner over course and distance earlier this month and escapes a penalty. He looks a progressive type who may be up to landing this as he holds Iwasthefutureonce on earlier Wetherby running.
