The market could prove the best guide but Donald McCain's recruit from the Irish point-to-point field Bardeli is likely to come in for support. Justjoe was unfancied on his debut at Sedgefield but did well enough to be respected while Vintage Times only faded in the closing stages at Doncaster and will have come on greatly for the run. Chris Grant's mare Brockwell Abbey is a half-sister to a winning bumper and is one to note but a chance is taken with WOLF SHIELD as George Moore's King's Theatre gelding is the first foal of a mare from the familiy of Jodami.
