Verdict
VEGAS CASH should have few problems extending his winning run after wide-margin victories at Aintree and Ffos Las. He's already shown himself to be effective on any ground and can give the weight away to Minella Ranger, third on his hurdling debut at Worcester but almost certain to need further than this. Berea Court showed little at Worcester on his hurdles bow while Special Boru has been tailed off in all completed starts.
