Verdict
THERAPIST’s yard has won this in two of the last three years and the daughter of Le Havre, though unlikely to be one of Nicky Henderson’s best juveniles, has a good opportunity to recoup Newbury losses. Ezmerellda was pitched in at the deep end at Newbury and not disgraced so looks a big danger but Ruler Of The River has been well beaten in both starts over timber. Love True, a middle-distance winner on the Flat in France, looks the best of the newcomers.
