Kuraka finished third over track and trip on his final start last season and reappears on the same mark. Coal Stock won at Taunton and Fontwell in March and Golden Emblem was successful at Market Rasen and Wincanton last season. BEMBRIDGE was having only a fifth career start when scoring over course and distance in May. There should be more to come and he can defy a 10lb hike in the weights and get the better of Stratford third Blueberg.
