It was probably a decent contest at Fontwell in which Velator was well backed on debut. He never figured but that experience will dome him the world of good and better is expected here. Rhinestone Rebel was second on his debut at Market Rasen in June but has been well beaten in both starts since. A Heart Beats On and Balbriggan have shown promise in point-to-points but this can go to newcomer JEANO DE TOULOUSE. A half brother to a winning hurdler/chaser in France, he represents a yard that normally does well in bumpers.
