An interesting contest in which recent bumper winner Ballymountain Boy is sure to attract support on his hurdles debut. Point-to-point winner Minella For Me ran better than the bare result suggests on his hurdles bow at Exeter and looks sure to improve with a lesser emphasis on stamina, while any market confidence behind Nicky Henderson's Brave Eagle would be interesting. All that said, it's hard to get away from OXWICH BAY who looks sure to win races on the evidence of a promising hurdles bow behind the useful Robinshill on ground that was probably more testing than is ideal at Ffos Las.
