MAD MONEY (NAP) was allowed an easy lead at Worcester earlier this month but took full advantage and comfortably held off all challengers. That was only his third start under Rules and Richard Johnson keeps the partnership intact so he should be capable of defying his penalty. Son Of My Heart was behind shock winner Mollies Gent and Shaiyzar here at the start of the month and didn't fare much better when turned out again a day later but Berry De Carjac has travelled up from Devon for this so warrants a second look. Queens Bay has plenty to prove, however, and this may be too far for No Such Number.
