Verdict

Having won at Leicester last month, THE CISTERCIAN cemented an excellent start for his new yard when third under a penalty at Haydock. That is the best form on offer here so he'll take some stopping, for all Legendary Luke and Contacto are potential improvers. Point-recruit Mr Finch also needs considering.
