Verdict

The vote goes to expensive point recruit FEROCIMO, who appeals as the type to make a winning start under Rules. Nightflyer's Uttoxeter win is working out well, but he'll need to concede 7 lb to the selection, while Living In Luxury completes the shortlist for another in-form stable.

Has had a breathing operation since winning his sole outing in Irish points in March.

1	Fair bumper winner who has improved with each start over hurdles. Made it third time lucky in a maiden at Uttoxeter (2½m) last month, the placed horses both winning next time. Has experience/fitness on his side, too, and could make a bold bid to defy a penalty. 2nd Pick 1 Nightflyer (Ger) Jockey: Jonjo O'neill Jr. Trainer: Jonjo & A.J.

6	£70,000 4-y-o, Mahler gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Palmers Hill. Dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdler Lou's Coole Girl (19f winner). Successful sole outing in Irish points (Mar 22). Interesting Rules debutant, though did go for £45,000 less than Ferocimo at the same Goffs sale. 3rd Pick 6 Living In Luxury (Ire) Jockey: Brendan Powell Trainer: Joe Tizzard J: Brendan Powell T: Joe Tizzard	95	-	-	-	20%	4/1
