Verdict

Point-to-point winners My Story and Out Of Style have both joined strong National Hunt yards. Casterly Rock has a cracking NH pedigree and looks the most interesting of the newcomers as the four-year-old Rockpoint is likely to be a long-term project. Or De Vassy was placed at Southwell and Towcester in the autumn and has probably been waiting for better ground but IF THE CAP FITS could be good enough to defy his penalty. Mikey Legg’s claim accounts for a chunk of the extra 7lb and Harry Fry’s Milan gelding was always going best when scoring at Plumpton in November.
