Milton Harris’ yard has been in decent form but Knowwhentoholdem’s Newton Abbot victory hasn’t worked out. It’s more than two years since Bold Soldier finished second in a point but Golden De Coeur finished third at Galway in the summer and is a rare runner here for Wexford handler Colin Bowe. GINGER MAIL didn’t do a lot wrong when second at Musselburgh and Nick Alexander’s grey could be the answer to this, though Nicky Richards’ newcomers Gege Ville and River Meadow are both worth a market check.
