It was hard not to be impressed with the way UPON TWEED came right away from an ex-pointer with winning form on his sole outing in bumpers at Newcastle and, related to above-average jumpers, he looks one to follow now going hurdling. Stride On is another with fairly useful winning bumper form who is bred and seemingly built for jumping, with Moon Phases the pick of those with hurdling experience.
