Verdict

NATIVE WARRIOR took his record to 3-4 since the visor went on and improved another chunk in the process when impressively taking another big field 7f handicap at this course 2 weeks ago. He may well not have done improving on that evidence and with the return to 1m holding no fears, another bold showing looks firmly on the cards. The most potent dangers may emerge from the 3-y-o brigade, with Crown of Oaks and Fifth Column heading them up along with Shout. Cerulean Bay is another to consider.

  1. NATIVE WARRIOR
  2. CROWN OF OAKS
  3. FIFTH COLUMN (IRE)
