It is difficult to have much confidence in any of this bunch but RIDDLESTOWN has won off this mark over fences and gets a token vote. Hurricane Vic was runner up at Kempton last year and Green And White occupied the same finishing position at Fontwell in June. Kavanaghs Corner has placed in a point to point but has been well beaten in all three starts over hurdles and none of the rest have shown any worthwhile form as of yet.
