THE POUNDS is the only one of these with any significant form and though he's now run eight times without winning his two placed efforts in the spring would probably be good enough to see him through. It's quite likely that one of the newcomers will chase him home and Tony Mullins' Anothergreymorning has the pedigree to make his presence felt if fully wound up. Herons Heir is a half-brother to a winning chaser and he may have to wait until sent jumping before showing some form. Ballyroe Rambler may do best of the remainder.
