Verdict

A low-mileage 7-y-o L'HOMME PRESSE has made an excellent start over fences, maintaining his 100% record with plenty to spare at Ascot (21f) on his latest start in December. He gets the nod to continue the good work now tackling this higher grade. Millers Bank looked set to score at Newbury on his latest start and is feared, along with the likeable The Glancing Queen.
