Mild promise last year for Ross O'Sullivan but recent point-to-point form modest; debuts for new yard.

Clay Pigeons
Half-brother to winners Theclockisticking (useful 2m-3m hurdle/chase), Delta Run (bumper/2m4f hurdle) and Flying Colum (point); dam unraced sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Synchronised; just held on in Boulta maiden point-to-point in December before realising 62,000GBP at Cheltenham Sales six days later; rider/trainer combination won this last year so demands respect.

Ocovango 5yo returned much improved from 296-day absence to win Tallow adjacent maiden in February, although form has worked out; can't rule out.

Frankie's Freebie
Modest enough third on most recent point-to-point, doesn't appear an obvious candidate here.

Minella Emperor
Three uneventful runs in point-to-points before fetching just 3,500GBP in December; respected yard but looks decidedly the second-choice.
