First run for a new yard having finished eighth on debut in a bumper at Worcester. That performance was nothing to get excited about (beaten 46L), and he'll likely be outclassed here.

7/4
£50,000 purchase as a five-year-old. Narrow victory in a point to point at the second time of asking. Half-brother to a bumper winner and entitled to go well here.
Son of Oscar with a fair pedigree, from the family of some useful hurdlers. Interesting runner on racecourse debut and worth a check in the market.

1/1
Won a point to point at the second time of asking in impressive style. Looks a hot prospect for some top connections and is a leading player in this.
Cost €31,000 as a three-year-old with a decent pedigree as a brother to useful hurdler Une Artiste and a half-brother to four other winners over hurdles. Worth a check in the market.

Forecasts

Warthog (1/1), Indian Hercules (7/4), Diamond Reggie (4/1), Dessinateur (8/1), Pride Of Pemberley (10/1), Minellatillmorning (10/1), Black Art (14/1), Oscars Cross (16/1), Foxy Act (50/1)

Verdict

WARTHOG impressed in winning a point to point on his second start between the flags having run with credit on debut, and he looks very able on that evidence of making this a winning debut under rules for some top connections. Another former point to pointer whose figures for his efforts also read 31 is Indian Hercules, and he also looks to hold a good chance as well as Dessinateur, a €31,000 who looks an interesting newcomer.
