Verdict

While TURNING GOLD didn't have much to beat in a seller at Leicester last time, he did the job with minimum fuss and will prove a tough nut to crack if a in a similar mood here. The 9-y-o may have most to fear from Ballydisco, who has shown ability in 3 qualifying runs and this former pointer can be expected to raise his game now up in distance for this handicap debut. Bumpy Johnson and Watergrange Jack are others to consider in a competitive contest.

  1. TURNING GOLD

  3. BUMPY JOHNSON (IRE)
