Useful bumper winner DALSTON LAD is totally unexposed as a staying hurdler and he's taken to make a winning handicap debut for the Skelton yard. Phantomofthepoints has rock-solid form over this C&D and has to be feared returning to hurdles, along with improving mare Heather Honey, who traded at short odds in running last time and will be well-suited by drying ground.
