Verdict
Peter Bowen sent out last year’s winner and GAVIN bids for a hat-trick raised only 2lb for last month’s course and distance success. Karannelle landed a double on fast ground last summer but the remainder have yet to win over hurdles. Sydney Blues and Zuraig have scope for improvement but Heronord was still well beaten when finishing third here last time.
