Verdict

NATIONAL HERITAGE is probably the best bred horse on the card this afternoon and while he has yet to get his head infront, with the likelihood of some give in the ground, he might be worth a chance in a race where plenty are exposed as modest. Roman History was a 66/1 shock at the track two weeks ago - though he had lost his way on the flat, one could not deny the fact that Tracy Waggott is having one of her best season's ever. Richard Johnson's booking aboard Lord Francois is an eyecatching one. Lindseyfield Lodge is a perennial front runner who would have claims on his old form whilst Perez, who has plenty of ideas about the game, was blasted with a 14lb rise for winning a seller at Perth and while 2lb lower than his latest effort, does not strike as being particularly well handicapped.
