HOB HOUSE is fitted with a hood for his debut but his dam won a bumper and she is a half-sister to high-class hurdler Epatante. Nicky Henderson’s charge may prove good enough with £120,000 purchase Hallwood, a full brother to the smart Very Wood, another newcomer to note. Nothin To Ask is creeping closer having finished runner-up when sent off favourite at Catterick while Greatest Star made a promising start at Warwick before a disappointing effort back in November.
