World Vision may just hold Gideon Putnam and Intensity in the final race on the card. World Vision did not jump particularly well when opening his account over timber at Newcastle three weeks ago, but appreciated the step up in trip. He is still a bit green and the long-term plan is to go chasing, but Ferdy Murphy's gelding has a good chance of following up with conditons in his favour. Intensity, like the selection, carries a penalty after scoring here at the beginning of November, and will appreciate being back over timber after two comprehensive defeats on the level, also here. Gideon Putnam has been doing well in bumpers and is sure to make his mark over hurdles, but maybe best watched first time round, with preference for World Vision, who we know will get the trip.
