Masters Apprentice carries a penalty for his shock 50-1 debut win at Uttoxeter and that will make his life more difficult in an admittedly modest contest. Meanwhile, the Sedgefield bumper scorer
Order Of Thistle made a reasonable fist of hurdling at Ayr (fifth) without necessarily screaming ready-made future winner. Therefore, the standout candidate is surely the Ballycahane point-to-point scorer
MINELLA TRUMP. He has since joined Donald McCain and Tim Leslie for £90,000, and at a realistic level should take plenty of beating on rules/hurdles debut under the wing of the championship seeking rider Brian Hughes.
