Verdict

Following any relevant market clues is probably the best stance in this concluding bumper. One who could potentially attract some support is the well-related Micky Hammond-trained newcomer HOLLY JAMES. Hammond and Lee teamed up with a similar type at Newcastle recently (Crypto), with that Gold Well gelding winning by 16L on debut before moving on at the Tattersalls March Cheltenham Sale for £200,000. Of the others the Ballinaboola PTP winner Rapid Raider catches the eye for Lucinda Russell (beat Enjoy D'Allen who sold recently for £95,000), whilst Tortuga Bay is another worthy of consideration post wind surgery for Langholm-based handler James Ewart.
