Verdict
Bellorophon was second in a point-to-point in Ireland in February but Richard Johnson could probably have taken the ride if he'd wanted it and has chosen AMAZING SCENES instead. Brendan Powell's four-year-old was only beaten just over three lengths on his debut on the Polytrack in January and will know more today. Tim Easterby runs If You Wish and newcomer Bollin Bob while Genetic Code and Farmer's Friend can't be ignored.
