Verdict
LIBBERTY HUNTER is penalised on his reappearance having won at Hereford last year but the runner-up has won subsequently so he gets the vote in something of a lottery. Mahon Point and Serious Charges have form in point-to-points with the former winning at Tabley back in May and the latter purchased for £85,000 as a half-brother to several winners over jumps. The likes of Hurricane Deal, Pachacuti, Rebel Intentions and Rocambolas are all newcomers to note
