GOLDEN BIRTHDAY has become a bit frustrating having been a beaten favourite in each of his three starts. But he has yet to finish out of the frame and Richard Johnson takes over the reins so Harry Fry's charge is given one final chance. Zammia was tailed off when third at Exeter on his debut but should know more today and Sam Twiston-Davies could presumably have ridden West Torr. Lets Go Dutchess is improving with experience while Musketeer is well worth a market check as his half-brother Midnight Shot won a bumper and was later successful over hurdles.
