HERONRY turned in a shocker when last of three over course and distance in July but that can't have been his best form. He'd won on his chasing bow at Worcester, when Mr Satco finished tailed off, and should recoup losses today. George Fernbeck has won three times over hurdles this year and should make a chaser. He might not be far away if his jumping holds up but Northern Executive was already struggling when unseating his rider in Mr Satco's race at Cartmel in July.
