Verdict

ESSENTIAL JACO created an excellent impression when going in at the first time of asking in this sphere at Lingfield and is fancied to follow up at the chief expense of the progressive World of Dreams, who should ensure that Gary Moore's 5-y-o doesn't have things all his own way. Hurdling newcomer and winning pointer Blade Runner appeals as the pick of the remainder.

  1. ESSENTIAL JACO (GER)
  2. WORLD OF DREAMS (IRE)
  3. BLADE RUNNER (FR)
