Formscan By Stuart Howden - Charlie's Dilemma was a shade disappointing in fourth over 2m6f at Downpatrick last month, after the promise he showed on his first start of the year when second over that same course and distance. With that in mind, the vote goes to National Hunt newcomer PLONTIER, who has plenty of Flat wins to his name in Europe. The son of Planteur is related to plenty of winners and goes for a powerful yard, so it would be no surprise to see him make a big impression on his debut in this sphere. Any market confidence behind Hungry Rock should also be noted.
