        Verdict

        William Of Orange has taken on a new lease of life since joining Mark Walford while Cooking Fat and I'm To Blame are starting to look well treated on past form. Bafana Blue led the Highlands National field for a long way at Perth 11 days ago having won earlier at Wetherby but Court Dreaming is having a first outing since finishing last at Newcastle in November. Tanarpino has also had a break so this can go to BOOTLEGGER, whose second to One More Fleurie at Doncaster in February has worked out well. Tristan Davidson’s gelding has at least matched that effort in subsequent starts over shorter trips and still has time on his side.
