Verdict

Golden Heritage, yet another well-bred John Ferguson newcomer, will likely start favourite for this. But he became a little disappointing on the Flat after making a winning debut at Deauville as a two-year-old and has been off the track since November of last year. We'll take him on with ROADIE JOE, who put his point-to-point experience to good use when winning a bumper here two weeks ago and should be even better over timber. Magna Cartor has also shown promise in bumpers but Sindarban reverted to type at Perth last time having finished second over this course and distance in June.
