Verdict

BARDO CONTIGUO made a promising debut when runner-up at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and a bold bid is expected with normal progress. Hero Hero failed to land the odds when only third at Chelmsford on his reappearance and steps up in trip. But he looks the main threat to the selection given both Torochica and Guandi have plenty of improving to do with the latter’s stablemate and newcomer Mogsy preferred as a half-brother to four winners with David Probert on board.
