Joe Tizzard's WALK TALL impressed as a future chaser in the making in a relatively light campaign over hurdles last season and this winning pointer is taken to make a successful start in this sphere. Easy C&D scorer C'Mon So rates a big threat though, while Aill Dubh appeals as the pick of the remainder.
