Point winner BANTER AT THE BAR may well turn out to be an above-average recruit and he is taken to make a winning start under Rules. Custom Taylor has done nothing wrong in his two starts over hurdles and he rates the main danger ahead of Will The Wise. The Willie Mullins-trained Jump Allen and Prophet's Corner are others with potential.
