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.
