A fascinating affair. Another General was a real boon to connections over hurdles last term but with the ground not bottomless, we'll keep a watching brief on this talented performer. Zaffamore won under an enterprising ride last time out. This followed a long absence so the "bounce" factor has to be a slight concern to his backers. We'll stick with the home team though and the vote goes to Tales of Bounty. Clearly, one is taking a chance with him on debut but the hurdles form was top-drawer and he should be fit from two recent runs. Fellow debutant, Millcroft Seaspray looks the most likely danger.
