      Verdict

      STATION MASTER won two point-to-points in Ireland and fell in three others. He was impressive when landing an Aintree bumper in May and again when defying a couple of errors in a novices' hurdle at Warwick and can go in again. Aloomomo has been alternating between hurdles and fences, completing a hat-trick over the bigger obstacles two years ago. He's been lightly-raced subsequently and will be better for a recent run over a trip too short at Carlisle. Follow The Bear won over an extended 3m at Kempton in May and is another who has been racing over shorter trips so a better effort is expected. Plus One won a point in Ireland then made a promising start over hurdles at Wetherby in February. He reappeared at Chepstow last month where he probably needed the run and should do better. Janes Boutique has only run three times under Rules and shown nothing so far.
