Verdict

Useful bumper winner I STARTED A JOKE was much improved to get off the mark over hurdles and he can make a winning start in handicaps with Sean Bowen aboard. Putapooundinthejar finished a creditable sixth in the Greatwood last time and it would be no surprise to see him back to his best for the shrewd Tony Martin stable, while Willie Mullins has a typically strong hand, Murcia the choice of Paul Townend following her encouraging reappearance behind Talk The Talk.
