Verdict
Newcomer JERIKO PLACE very much appeals as a likely type to make his mark with his top yard boasting an impressive strike rate in this discipline and he earns the vote before market clues. Tormund Giantsbane sets the standard on his Worcester bumper debut victory and merits plenty of respect under a penalty. Another newcomer Mr Griffiths and Sutherland, who makes his debut for Nicky Henderson, also command respect.
