Form & Verdict
Came from off the pace to beat his nine rivals on debut at Worcester (good to soft) in September; has penalty offset by Heidi Palin's 7lb claim and has very obvious claims if he copes with the slower ground.

Made a winning debut in a Worcester bumper in September and ran with credit when runner-up in similar events at Sedgefield and Chepstow; sure to have been well-schooled and should take plenty of beating on this first start over hurdles.

Won at Worcester (good to soft) in September; found one too good when 8-11 under 7lb claimer for a six-runner race at Sedgefield (soft) in December but still brings potential and has joined major owners.

Shaped with significant promise when third (albeit well held in the end) behind stablemate of Trigg over C&D (good to soft) on recent rules debut but needs to take a good step forward.

Placed in a Hexham bumper (beaten 19l) in November; yet to show a massive amount over hurdles (0-3), though was staying on over an inadequate 2m at Kelso (novice; 66-1, beaten 32l) latest; back to a more suitable trip for handicap debut.

He's displayed some ability but not enough to suggest he'll be posing a threat today; will be of greater interest when moving into handicaps.

His bumper debut third at Hexham (2m, good to soft) wasn't devoid of promise but lesser runs have followed in a bumper at Carlisle (soft) and a novice hurdle over this C&D (good).

Half-brother to Champion Chase winner Put The Kettle On and two useful hurdlers; kept on well to chase home a subsequent hurdle winner on debut over C&D (good to soft) in March; ought to make his presence felt again.

Runner-up on debut in a bumper at Hexham last March but unable to reproduce that form in a further two starts in bumpers and three over hurdles; this is his handicap debut, however, and he's well related.

Verdict

Worcester winner Trigg sets a fairly good standard, while Tea Boy made a promising debut over C&D in March and should also run well. However, the most interesting runner is David Pipe’s new recruit NO WALKOVER, who made a very promising Irish point debut in February and has travelled from Somerset to make his rules debut here.[Chris Wilson]
