Verdict

There are going concerns surrounding Nicky Richards’ pair My Old Gold and Isaacstown Lad. Who's My Jockey got back to winning ways at Kempton last month but was easily beaten by Polydora off level weights at Exeter in December. Black Sam Bella appreciated the step up to 3m at Uttoxeter and she has every chance of following up while Henllan Harri is well handicapped on the pick of his chase form. Sky Pirate remains unexposed and can play a part on going that will suit given he won over 3m between the flags but we’ll give another chance to LOUGH DERG FARMER. He was hampered by soft ground last season but will be a different proposition on this surface and is slipped down the handicap.
