Verdict

Another bumper field and MISS HERITAGE (NAP) is near the top of the handicap. But Lucy Wadham’s mare has fully earned her place there with a couple of excellent runs at Fakenham and she is clearly at home on sharp tracks like this – her yard continues in fine form. Itsonlyrocknroll may be the danger despite failing to justify favouritism at Fontwell. Enlighten could be interesting making his handicap debut and The Newest One has a similar profile but Warwick runner-up Bardd is now 0-18 over timber and doesn’t have a lot of scope.
