Fisherman Frank was second to the useful Roadie Joe on his debut at Worcester in August and can build on that. He's preferred to Warwick fifth Shan't Agree and Maybe Enough of those with experience. But a few of the newcomers are definitely worth a market check including the stoutly-bred Hag Stone, Lithic and Tommy Rapper. The latter is a half-brother to two winning jumpers but we'll take a chance on BALLYPOINT as Nigel Twiston-Davies has a good record here with his bumper horses and so Sam hangs around to take the ride.
