Verdict

It was interesting to see Tree of Knowledge, a talented performer on the Flat (including a fourth in a Group 3), take a step forward last time to finish a good third in a similar contest, while Theydon Park has been running some very eye-catching races for his talented young trainer. Preference though, is for LEOMAR, who was a progressive horse on deeper ground such as we're likely to get today before a slightly disappointing showing last time out. There are a few reasons to doubt the form of that race, however, and he is taken to get back to the winning ways he showed on the Flat.
  1. Leomar
  2. Theydon Park
  3. Tree of Knowledge
