      Verdict

      Only half of this field have raced over fences before. French import Dustin Des Mottes may be the best of those, ahead of the four-year-old Risk And Roll and Azzerti, but a switch to fences should suit BRIANSTORM. Now with Venetia Williams, he will have found the going too quick in a pipe-opener here over hurdles and was a decent novice hurdler last season. Gortroe Joe has point-to-point and hurdling experience so can’t be ignored but the lack of a recent run would be a concern for Loves Destination.
