Point-to-point winner KYNTARA made a winning debut under rules when landing a bumper at Warwick. From a family of hurdle winners, Kim Bailey’s charge will likely prove a popular choice. Viva Lavilla has also won between the flags in Ireland where he beat a subsequent winner over hurdles and has joined Dan Skelton’s yard while Tommy Tracey is another debuting for new connections having placed in a point-to-point. Gerico Ville and Minella Buster are likely improvers of those with hurdling experience.
