Verdict

RED SHERLOCK completed a hat-trick of bumper victories in a Listed event at Cheltenham before making an impressive hurdling debut at Southwell. He'll be at very short odds here but can hardly be opposed before going on to better things. Ocean Waves attracted massive support on his bumper debut at Carlisle in October and, though only just getting up to beat Kilcooley, the runner-up has won easily since so the form looks strong. Bonnet's Vino appeared to enjoy the quick ground when narrowly scoring at Catterick but couldn't follow up over a longer trip on softer going at Fakenham.
