Verdict
Letthetruthbeknown has switched yards since winning at Cork in April while Hillfinch made a winning start when scoring at Market Rasen last month. Stanley Pincombe will be sharper for last month’s fourth at Warwick and Moot Court and Pageant Material have both placed between the flags. But Paul Nicholls’ yard has won two of the four renewals and the newcomer HENRI THE SECOND gets the vote given his half-brother and stablemate Enrilo made a winning debut in a bumper.
