Verdict
Si Bien won over fences for James Ewart at the start of the year but broke a blood vessel and was pulled up on his first start for Nick Ayliffe so is probably best watched today. Hes Our Lad has claims on his second to Smart Freddy at Stratford but Gouranga Society weakened quickly when last of three finishers at the same track on Thursday. Something was clearly amiss with BUSINESSMONEY JUDI at Aintree in June as she'd won at Towcester and Wincanton in her two previous starts. Rested since, she can get back to winning ways here.
