Verdict

Trainer Nicky Henderson has his yard in rude health at the moment and looks to have a stranglehold on this event via OK CORRAL and Whatswrongwithyou. The former has to carry a penalty but given his form so far he looks a fair way ahead of these with his stablemate having to learn to settle a bit better to be seen at his best. There are a few others that have shown promise and can make their mark in the future with Way Out West, What’s Occurring and Forgot To Ask all capable of getting involved.
  1. Ok Corral
  2. Whatswrongwithyou
  3. What's Occurring
