Goldencard was engaged in the 3.05 Fontwell yesterday. KILBREW BOY (NAP) won under today’s amateur off this mark at Wincanton in December and can defy top weight to make a winning return to action. Happy News is a course and distance winner and makes more appeal than stablemate Muse Of Fire but Gouet Des Bruyeres looks a bigger danger having won at Worcester last month. Printing Dollars became disappointing over hurdles but was second on her fencing bow at Perth in July.
