Verdict

The skewbald Angrove Rumbaba is an unusual sight in racing and may attract a few novelty bets but he's been well beaten in both starts so far. Next Sensation looks a better long-term prospect than fellow points winner High Interest but it would be no surprise if ABSOLUTELY BYGONES were to prove good enough on his debut. He's by Champion Hurdler Alderbrook and from the same family as smart chasers Ollie Magern and Auntie Dot.
