Verdict

FELIX GEM left his debut form well behind when narrowly denied at Wolverhampton 6 weeks ago and looks the one to beat with further progress anticipated dropped back to 1m. Blue Celestial took another big step forward when third at Kempton, while Irish Incentive was unlucky not to finish a lot closer at Musselburgh on debut.
