Verdict

GOLDEN SON, a Graded winning hurdler in France, belatedly built on the promise of his chasing debut to score at Kempton last time and could have even more to offer with headgear retained. Kotmask has already had a productive season over fences and is respected again, with Heros another player on the back of an unlucky second at Wetherby last time.
