Verdict

An ultra-competitive opener which can go the way of LIFE IN THE PARK. Henry de Bromhead's charge galloped his rivals into submission at Tramore earlier this month, and provided this doesn't come too early in his development, an opening mark of 119 may underestimate him. English-raider Thanksforthehelp has scope for plenty of improvement heading into handicaps so he's fancied to be in the mix, with Francois and Midnight It Is also expected to go well.
