Verdict
Barry Geraghty's booking for MATHAAQ looks a real positive and this lightly-raced son of Nayef, a winner for Michael Jarvis on his third and final run last season, can get off to a successful start for new connections. If experience is to prevail then Time Machine, twice second behind Saponara last month, looks best though Coosan Belle made a promising hurdling debut behind More Claret at Tramore a couple of weeks ago. Coat Of Arms, Gracchus, Ixora and Paddy Pipe are others to note in a tough opener for punters.
