Verdict
Stand By Me was third in this last year but hasn't raced since. Ghetto Blaster wasn't beaten far at Exeter on his reappearance and it will be interesting to see if there's any market support for winning pointers Ballymountain Boy and The Two Amigos. The latter, a son of Midnight Legend, should have a future under Rules but whether he'll have the pace to cope with ARMAANS WISH (NAP) here is another matter. Nicky Henderson's five-year-old only had to be shaken up to quicken clear at Ludlow and looks a nice prospect.
