Bravo Buddy is race-fit and only one of his rivals has racecourse experience, though Rock The House showed promise here in February. Several of the newcomers are bred to come into their own over staying trips, including Methusalar, Global Effect and Marble Sands. CAPTAIN MORGS, a son of Milan, cost €92,000 and Nicky Henderson’s record in races of this type is almost unrivalled so Nico de Boinville’s mount may be the one to be on.
