Verdict

THE LORDS WALK remains a maiden but has been knocking on the door lately and has some decent form over this C&D to support the theory that a breakthrough is imminent, he is given the nod to land this trick opener. Park Row can go close if handling this shorter trip while handicap debutant My Amazing One and Shabra Emperor are others worth considering.
  1. The Lords Walk
  2. Park Row
  3. My Amazing One
