In depth
Verdict
With little form to go on we’re relying on pedigree with the £30,000 purchase MAJOR DUNDEE, a half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Onenightinvienna who also won a bumper, looking a likely sort. Peter Fahey sends over the filly Amelia's Dance and she’s from the same family as Mister McGoldrick. High Fort was a cheap purchase but the champion gets the leg-up on Karen McLintock’s newcomer.
