Verdict
Mr Sundancer did everything right at Wincanton but is penalised and may not get the slow gallop he had there. Bo Kaap started favourite for his debut at Aintree but didn't get the test of stamina he requires given his pedigree so should do better. FAR HORIZON probably came up against a decent pair when a close third over 1m5f at Huntingdon and, with that under his belt, can get off the mark. Armadar, by Sinndar out of a 7f winner, may prove best of the newcomers.
