Verdict

Granted suitable conditions (probably wouldn't want ground slower than good to soft), TALIS EVOLVERE may well deliver now eased in grade with highly promising and in-form apprentice Toby Moore doing the steering. He pulled clear of the rest when chasing home a progressive 3-y-o from the William Haggas yard at Haydock last time and a reproduction of that would probably suffice. Irish raider Dragon of Malta is next on the list, while Flag of St George is one of several others to consider.

  1. TALIS EVOLVERE (IRE)
  2. DRAGON OF MALTA (IRE)
  3. FLAG OF ST GEORGE (IRE)
