Verdict

Angus Glens has been struggling under penalties since winning a maiden hurdle at Southwell in May and that may be the case again today. Golden Heritage was still in contention when falling on his debut at Worcester but stopped quickly when favourite at Sedgefield last time and isn't one of his powerful yard's brightest prospects. ASCOTDEUX NELLERIE (NAP) won a bumper on the bridle here in May and will know his job. He can make a winning start over timber as none of the others make much appeal on what they've shown so far.
