Verdict

Nicky Henderson launches a dual pronged attack here with Kilcrea Vale and Hammersly Lake although neither have totally convinced of late over fences. Both Ash Park and Nansaroy have something to prove in this pay grade while it’s hard to be enthusiastic over the finishing effort of Champagne At Tara. All of that leads to POKER SCHOOL being the one to side with here off an acceptable mark in a race that should be run to suit.
