Summer Storm is bred for jumps and should be noted in the betting on his debut. He makes most appeal of the newcomers. Bennachie scored over track and trip last year but Alan Johns' allowance didn't seem to help last time as he finished a well beaten third at Ffos Las. BELLS 'N' BANJOS carries a penalty for making a winning start at Bangor. But he returned a ready winner and Warren Greatrex' charge is fancied to go in again with the remainder hard to fancy.
