Very hard to fathom. Both Generous Risk and Clay Pigeons have been bought by high-profile connections since winning their respective point-to-points and demand plenty of respect. However, the pair are taken on here by three-time points' winner HUNT AWAY. Wings Of Swallow and Cloudio are others to consider. [Alan Hewison]
