Verdict
This won't take much winning so Credit For Life, placed in a point-to-point in April, has to go on the short-list while Mistoffelees has won twice on the Flat, though finished tailed off in both starts this year. Dubawi Phantom is another Flat winner making his hurdles bow while Officer In Command and Grethel have already hinted at ability. Bumper winner CRAZY CHRIS has been well beaten in both starts over timber but she still has time on her side and is probably capable of better - John Flint's mare gets the vote.
