Verdict
Good Bone hit winning form last time and can follow up here from Prince Highlight and York Rite. The selection just got up in a thrilling finish with Frederic Forever, with rest well beaten off. It was an improved performance and looks as good as any other form on show here. York Rite is at the right end of the handicap for what he has achieved so far, but he was only had three outings over fences and he is beginning to get the hang of things. However a bigger threat could be posed by Prince Highlight who wasn't disgraced when finishing runner up to L'Orphelin at Newton Abbot last time in a very competitive affair. All in all a pretty modest event and Good Bone should be up to the task.
