Plenty of interesting types in an opening-looking novice. 6-figure point purchase NEON DREAM showed plenty when third on hurdle debut behind a more experienced Step Ahead and may be able to reverse that Cheltenham form on 7 lb better terms. Religous Cross carries a penalty for his impressive Taunton win but can improve again over this longer trip, while any support for the Henderson and Skelton runners should be noted.
