Verdict
Nicky Henderson's bumper horses are always worth a second look but Looking Hopeful looked a modest sort on his sole start for Charlie Morlock in April. Western High finished tailed off at Fontwell on his latest start while One More Cookie has failed to build on her debut fifth at Cheltenham. Prasina Russata, second in an Irish point-to-point in May, is an obvious candidate but Warren Greatrex saddles an interesting newcomer in the shape of OVERDRAUGHT. His dam was a decent sort in bumpers and hurdles and he's from the same family as the versatile Sayparee and smart chaser Scotsirish amongst others. Brass Monkey also has a nice pedigree and could make his presence felt.
