Verdict
The vote goes to BALLYNOE BOY, who showed more than enough on his debut at Catterick to suggest that there are races to be won with him. White Riot also found just one too good at Catterick starting out for this yard last month and he is feared most ahead of likely-looking newcomer The Mad Poet.

Verdict£40,000 half-brother to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Zalvados. Obvious appeal on paper given the yard he represents and it will look significant if he's strong in the betting. - 1. Ballynoe BoyJ: Danny McMenaminT: Nicky RichardsF: 2

VerdictHalf-brother to fair chaser Book of Gold and modest 2¼m hurdle winner Frankie Faulkner, stays 3¼m. Positive start to his career when second in a 6-runner Catterick bumper (15.7f, good) and should make a bold bid to go one better here. - 3. White RiotJ: Kielan WoodsT: Fergal O'BrienF: 6-2

VerdictWell beaten in a Kempton bumper for Ben Pauling last term but much better when runner-up on debut for new yard at Catterick (15.7f, good to soft) back from a 12-month absence. Needs considering.

VerdictCrystal Ocean gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Full Irish. Dam unraced out of fairly useful hurdler/chaser (2¼m-2½m winner) Native Endurance. Interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting.

VerdictTunis gelding. Half-brother to fair French chaser Idylle Fleurie. Yard isn't in particularly good form at present and this 4-y-o will probably come on for a run.- Unnamed Favourite
