Verdict

A good little contest that can go the way of ESPRIT DE SOMOZA who has not yet hit the heights that was expected of him over hurdles. He has long shaped like going up in trip will really suit and these conditions look a perfect stepping stone for a possible crack at the Lanzarote. Ecu De La Noverle battled gamely to beat a highly rated rival at Newbury and will be a tough nut to crack moving into a handicap. Whilst Oxford Bleu remains with potential having had wind surgery since his last run.
  1. Esprit De Somoza

  3. Oxford Blu
