Verdict

Militry Decoration included a second over course and distance in recent placed efforts while Foresee placed in an amateurs’ race here last time but Berrahri was still well beaten when third over track and trip more recently and Magna Moralia would prefer a longer trip. HISTORIC HEART (NAP) has won three times over hurdles and is unexposed on the Flat. He’s improved 27lb over timber since last seen under this code and Nigel Hawke’s charge may well come out best if carrying over that improvement.
