ZAMA ZAMA could be the one here as Ballintubber Cross, who chased him home at Leicester, was just beaten in a novices' handicap at Towcester on Boxing Day. Carrigmorna King looks a danger in receipt of 6lb however, having come up against decent opposition in two starts at Newbury. Salubrious had decent form in bumpers and Enroller was a decent middle-distance performer on the Flat, though didn't show a great deal of enthusiasm on his hurdling debut at Folkestone. Fergall and Beattie Green appear to have some ability and may be the pick of the remainder.
