Verdict
GOOHAR was not the most fluent over fences at Stratford on his chasing bow but still finished in a place and Henry Daly's charge should have learned plenty from that experience. Lyric Street was still in contention when falling a couple of fences from home at Sedgefield while All Together was placed over the larger obstacles in France, though was well beaten at Worcester last month. Money For Nothing has gone close on more than one occasion this year but has yet to taste success and Chestnut Ben is now back on a winning mark.
