Verdict
The fact that Barry Geraghty has hung around to partner RYDE BY KNIGHT in this bumper is a tip in itself. From solid jumping stock, Nicky Henderson's five-year-old will probably start a short price to make a winning debut in what looks a modest affair. Bostin has won a point-to-point while Fair Dreamer was prominent for a long way here in March and may be a bit better than his bare form suggests. Flashyfrank is another with each-way claims with Hill Forts Harry possibly the pick of the other newcomers.
