VINCIAETTIS was odds-on at Catterick on his hurdling bow after winning bumpers at Limerick and Taunton but made mistakes and could never quite get of terms with previous winner Point The Way. He'll have learned plenty form that and should take advantage of the 6lb here receives here from Maxanisi, who scored over course and distance in November but could cope with a penalty over a longer trip here subsequently. Winning pointer Leg Lock Luke has shown little under Rules so far and it's not encouraging that Sticking Point wears a hood an a tongue-tie on his racecourse debut.
