Verdict
Several of these have a bit to prove at present but Anteros has taken on a new lease of life, winning at Bangor and Warwick. Worthy Farm makes his chasing debut off a stiff enough mark but has won a point and a hurdle race. Financial Outcome has also won between the flags and looks better treated while Mahlermade and Court Liability are both capable of playing a part if back on song. STATION MASTER made the odds-on Steely Addition pull out all the stops over track and trip in March. He didn’t fare as well at Uttoxeter later but has had a rest and appeals as the type to go well fresh, especially on good ground.
