Verdict
Never out of the first two in bumpers, DEGOOCH tries his luck over timber. He acts on fast ground and will come in for support with A P McCoy taking over the reins. He's just preferred to the penalised Lord Brendy, who beat Woodstock easily enough when scoring at Kelso last time and should be thereabouts again. May's Boy has shown some ability in a couple of outings over timber and makes most appeal of the remainder on the back of a third over a shorter trip at this track.
