Verdict
Family Business has ability but he would hardly be a solid selection after the debacle of his last visit to this course. He was a very fortunate winner and it was only the tenacity of Tony McCoy that saw them prevail after the champ remounted the gelding at the tenth fence. My Good Son is also not one to rely upon too heavily and is prone to the odd mistake. That said he does prefer a sound footing and should be capable of putting in a decent performance. He is a marginal preference ahead of The Eens, who could also give a good account of himself, along with Keen To The Last, whose stable are enjoying something of a purple patch at present.
