Only four of these have bumper experience but Heart Of A Lion easily justified favouritism at Southwell and Felony was heavily punted at Ascot last month. He is better than he showed that day and jockey bookings suggest he is preferred to the stable’s newcomer Fox's Socks. Not At Present is by Presenting and the first foal to race of a winning pointer so should make a jumper. Bobhopeornohope is also bred for the job and won a point at Dromahane in April but CADZAND may be the one to beat as he wasn’t beaten far behind the promising Son Of Camas at Newbury on his debut under Rules.
