Verdict

Vinnie My Boy won a couple of bumpers at Aintree earlier in the year and should find a race or two over timber. Barney Cool and Kaysersberg are also bumper winners while Foundation Man was third on his hurdling debut in decent company at Worcester. HINDON ROAD certainly wasn't winning out of turn at Fontwell in May as he'd run well when quite highly tried previously. He should be up to landing this under a penalty ahead of Warwick handicap winner Western King. No Likey may be worth noting for future reference.
