Verdict

GRANDAD'S WORLD made a winning reappearance last year and Ryan Moore's presence suggests he is expected to run a big race on his first start since August. Stablemate Patrick is not out of this either off his current mark with Paul Hanagan doing the steering. Golden Amber is only 3lb higher than when scoring over track and trip in September but Justice Good has a fitness advantage and has the beating of Baddilini on recent collateral form on the all-weather. Teruntum Star won on the July course here last year while Free Code landed a double over 7f last term and is preferred to stablemate Bertiewhittle. Lucky Beggar is hard to win with these days but continues to slide down the weights.
