With no simple default option to a Fergal O'Brien trained bumper newcomer available, we're forced to look elsewhere for a selection. Nestor Park made a pleasing debut at Bangor last month behind Ballygomartin (not disgraced at Cheltenham since), so therefore with minimal improvement should be thereabouts for Ben Pauling. Paul Nicholls saddles Dr Rhythm, whilst the pick of the Nicky Henderson trained runners could be the newcomer Wallace Spirit. Loud As Lions is worthy of mention on pedigree for Tom Symonds, but the vote goes to the penalised Uttoxeter scorer PORTRUSH TED. His trainer Warren Greatrex negates that penalty through the use of his talented son Thomas in the saddle, and given the greeness his gelding displayed in winning on debut, he still looks capable of plenty of improvement.
- Portrush Ted
