Sun Joy has joined Ben Pauling from France where he scored on the Flat and was placed in three of five starts over hurdles. TINKLERS HILL was beaten four lengths by Supremely West in an Exeter bumper in April. The winner was completing a hat-trick and has won his last two starts over hurdles so the form looks strong and Paul Nicholls‘ charge can make a successful hurdling debut. Geezer Rockstar was an easy winner of a bumper here in April and has a fine jumping pedigree.
