This looks a hot bumper, with several of the big yards represented. Churlish Lad who won well enough at Plumpton, will find things difficult under his penalty. Nicely Presented , from the powerful Jonjo O'Neill yard, is worthy of respect, especially with the champion jockey on board, while Spuddler's Dream, a winning pointer is sure to know what's required. Newcomers Lady Terimond and Royal China, must be noted if the market speaks in their favour, but the vote goes to Barracat, a rare runner under this code for Barry Hills.
