In depth
Verdict
Alan King's pair Astralogical and Genstone Trail are both related to winners over hurdles but Robert Thornton's presence on board the latter suggests she may be the more forward of the pair today. The three-year-olds Bathwick Junior and Cresswell Melody get plenty of weight from their elders but may need more time and we suggest GOODTIMES A'COMING may be the one to beat among this quintet of newcomers. Noel Chance's runners have a good record in bumpers and this Bob Back filly, from the same family as smart chaser Better Times Ahead, is likely to know her job at the first time of asking.
