Verdict

Several of these appeal as likely improvers going up in trip, chiefly LAND OF PUNT, who caught the eye when a staying-on third at Plumpton towards the end of January. He gets the verdict over Fast Work, who backed up an encouraging third on handicap debut with a creditable effort in better company last time. One of the other handicap newcomers, Lheur de Gloire, is also shortlisted.

  1. LAND OF PUNT (IRE)
  2. FAST WORK (IRE)
  3. LHEUR DE GLOIRE (FR)
