Verdict
It was pleasing to see BANKATARY come from a less-than-ideal position when getting the better of Crack Ops on debut at Huntingdon and while it should be closer between them given that the latter is now armed with a 7 lb pull, James Owen's charge is taken to emerge on top once again. Indeed, he is open to improvement and looks a decent prospect. Faithful Guardian is the most appealing of the newcomers and is one to monitor closely in the betting.

VerdictHalf-brother to 2 winners on the Flat and justified favouritism when proving 1¾ lengths too strong for Crack Ops on debut in a Huntingdon bumper (15.8f, good to firm) last month. 7 lb worse off with the latter now, but he's open to improvement and may well confirm those placings. - 4.

VerdictAustralia gelding. Dam, lightly raced on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Gealach. Lots to like on paper and it will look significant if there's confidence behind him in the betting. - 3. Crack OpsJ: Charlie ToddT: Oliver Greenall & Josh GuerrieroF: 2

VerdictHalf-brother to 4 winners on Flat and pulled clear of the rest when chasing home Bankatary on his introduction at Huntingdon. 7 lb pull offers hope that he will turn the tables here, but the winner did well under the circumstances and arguably possesses the greater scope for improvement.

Verdict£8,000 3-y-o, Highland Reel gelding. Dam 2½m-25f hurdle/chase winner. Yard can certainly ready one first time out and it will be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting.

VerdictSilverwave filly. Half-sister to Alinehowe. Dam unraced out of winning hurdler/chaser around 2½m in France Pennylane. Yard's strike rate in bumpers in recent seasons is modest and this one is probably more of a long-term prospect.

VerdictPlanteur colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler Pillar of Steel and poor hurdler/chase winner Shutthegate. Dam 2m hurdle winner. Entitled to come on for the run.

Verdict£5,000 3-y-o, Highland Reel gelding. Dam 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner. Winning newcomers are hardly a regular feature for this yard and it's probably best to look elsewhere.
