Verdict

Winning pointer Worthy Farm is a half-brother to the useful Mister Miyagi. He was only beaten half-a-length at Bangor in April when making his debut under Rules and could be one to follow this season. DE NAME EVADES ME sets a decent standard, however, and has the benefit of a recent run under his belt. He was no match for the odds-on Dinons at Cheltenham but was staying on over that 3m and should stay the extra. Captain Cargo did best of the less-fancied runners when third at Southwell last month and is open to improvement.
