Nicky Henderson could hardly have his string in better shape and PUNCTUATION can make a winning start for new connections having been given a chance by the handicapper following a few quieter runs in this sphere last season. To Chase A Dream wasn't ideally placed when fourth at Cheltenham last month and he should benefit from stepping up in trip, while Classic King always looked fairly useful over hurdles and he can run well back over the smaller obstacles with his yard among the winners.
