Verdict

Long Road Home, Ericas Charm and Noble Sham look the three to concentrate on in this bumper and the vote is given to Long Road Home. The selection is a Supreme Leader gelding out of an unraced mare. He hails from a yard that does well in this type of event and he is taken to make a winning debut. Ericas Charm rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Back With A Bang but he has a penalty for that win and that may just find him out. Noble Sham is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Acushnet but that form has since been let down and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Jane's Rug Rat is another nice sort on pedigree and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Long Road Home.
