Five previous winners line up here but WORLD HERITAGE looks the one to beat. He was a group class performer on the level as a three-year-old and made an impressive debut over hurdles at Stratford for Robert Eddery, beating the more experienced Tatispout with something to spare. The runner-up's performance on the handicap earlier on this card will be a good pointer to his chances in this but the five-year-old has plenty of scope and should double his tally. Bullet Man stepped up on his Sedgefield debut to win a shade cosily at Huntingdon and should win more races, but Book'Em Danno was never travelling when tailed off at Ffos Las last month and has a bit to prove now while Yahrab and Bedouin Bay could find this company too hot. Rosbay has won five time on the Flat but may have to go down the handicap route to get off the mark over timber.
