Paul Moloney has been seen to great effect on Brave Richard as the Jenkins inmate has delivered the hat-trick but is replaced here by a 7lb amateur as connections presumably look to offset accumulated penalties. However, WATERLORD (NAP) has so far looked the real deal in bumpers, scoring in effortless fashion on both starts and is hard to oppose on that evidence for the prolific John Ferguson operation. Magna Cartor returns from a ten-month break after impressing at Southwell and the market may prove the best indicator of current wellbeing in what looks an above average bumper for the time of year.
