A stellar renewal of the King George VI. Young pretenders Politologue and Waiting Patiently are both on a sharp upward curve and retain masses of potential for the future, but against gnarly rivals such as Native River, Thistlecrack, Might Bite and BRISTOL DE MAI could conceivably fall short. The selection probably has his flaws, but so do the majority of his rivals. As a Haydock specialist, the basic assumption is that the Betfair Chase winner is far less effective elsewhere. However, in his defence this clearly hasn't been truly tested post wind surgery, so at the current odds he rates as a value based selection.
- Bristol De Mai
- Thistlecrack
