Verdict
BOLD BACHELOR (NAP) is difficult to oppose in this under the experienced Gina Andrews. He was making his debut under Rules in this country when only beaten a head by Very Live at Lingfield last month and can race off the same mark today. Slidecheck hasn't been seen since going close in a novice hunter chase at Fontwell last May and veteran No Principles hasn't raced since June. Johns Luck has failed to build on early promise while Lost In Newyork always finds a way of getting beat.
