Verdict

IS THAT LOVE is taken to translate recent AW improvement back to the turf and complete a quick hat-trick. Drombeg Duke was in fine form when last seen in the autumn so could play a part if primed for this, while Chagall posted a series of good efforts towards the end of 2020 and should get involved for his new yard if picking up where he left off.
