Verdict
This won’t take much winning and GLOBAL FERT (NAP) should be capable of conceding weight all round based on an improved fourth behind Manny Owens at Doncaster. He’s a pound lower and Adam Short is good value for his 7lb claim. First-time headgear may bring about further improvement in Chepstow third Matts Legacy but Bubsy Burbidge has shown little since a debut second at Plumpton more than a year ago. Brother Bennett and Big Picture may be best of the rest.
