In depth
Verdict
Irish bumper winner Aston Cantlow was third at Wincanton last month but still beaten 20 lengths and HEDLEY LAMARR probably wouldn't need to improve much on his debut second at Bangor to go one better. The first two that day pulled well clear of the others. Jonjo O'Neill also runs Gold Medal but he has some improving to do and more interesting is bumper winner Pengo's Boy. Neither No Ceiling nor Dandy Duke have shown much so far and may do better in handicaps.
