BOLD ADDITION returned the easy winner of one of these events at Sandown last month under today's rider. He looks the one to beat on that evidence and will start a short price to follow up. Silverburn's victory at Musselburgh looks inferior form though he should go well along with last June's Stratford winner Overlut, fourth in a recent point-to-point. The rest are struggling and harder to fancy with the exception of Working Title, who has the past form to get involved if retaining his ability over regulation fences after recent placed efforts between the flags.
