Verdict
Point-to-point winner Bebinn failed to score in 11 starts over timber and makes his chasing bow. Fellow chasing debutant EASY BEESY makes more appeal as he scored twice over timber and Warren Greatrex' yard has been rattling-up the winners. Royal Palladium is related to winning chasers in France and may improve over the larger obstacles but Promised Wings has shown little so far in a couple of starts over fences.
