Verdict

ACT OF VIOLENCE has not been firing of late but has joined a yard that does well with new recruits and is taken to make much more impact dropped in grade. Some Nightmare, a 3-time C&D winner, rates a major threat with a fully-fledged rider back on board, while the free-going Dragon God also merits respect.
