Norfolk Sky could hardly have won more easily at Fontwell despite a last-flight blunder and was tackling much better company at Cheltenham later. She will make a bold bid to carry her penalty to victory here. Bilidn needs a longer trip but Ellin's Tower has shown potential in bumpers and has a smart pedigree for jumping. The same remark applies to THERE IS NO POINT, who gets the nod as she has looked very promising in her two bumper races and should be suited by this quicker ground. Northern Meeting has just failed to quicken at the business end in her two runs over timber but should be winning soon while Rainbow Beauty, a dual winner on the Flat, will have come on for last month's run at Newton Abbot.
