NEWTON TORNADO (4) has recorded a sequence of seconds including by 4.5L last time in a 2m7 1/2f Chepstow maiden hurdle. Finds a suitable contest to go one better. COURAGEOUS STRIKE (9) is a fascinating flat recruit on first start for Paul Nicholls. Dangerous if well-schooled. FOLLOWCATO (2) may prove threatening in view of a 5.5L third at Wetherby delivering penultimate outing. JACK TO BAT (3) was third over course and distance in November. Warrants consideration.
