Verdict

An ordinary maiden which can go to French-recruit FOXFIRE GLOW starting out for Gordon Elliott. He was only just edged out by the now-smart Kyrov at Compiegne 12 months ago so his form looks solid. His stablemate Themanintheboots showed ability in bumpers so can feature, while Beer With The Boys showed fair form on the level.

  1. FOXFIRE GLOW (FR)
  2. THEMANINTHEBOOTS (IRE)
  3. BEER WITH THE BOYS
