Verdict
Turning Gold opened his account for current connections at Leicester last month and is a past winner here. Present Value started favourite at Carlisle last month but never looked like winning and has found this trip beyond in the past. Godrevy Point won over further at Hereford, however, and makes his handicap debut at a realistic level but RIVER WALK is yet another Donald McCain runner on today’s card with solid claims with a first try over 3m expected to bring about further improvement. Phil De Pail might be the pick of the remainder.
