In depth
Verdict
Miss Lamb’s defection has left the way open for LELANTOS to make a winning debut. The Presenting gelding cost €40,000 and, though he’ll be suited by hurdles and further in the future, should have the pace for this. Scardino is a half-brother to three winners and shouldn’t be far away while Platinumcard is a full brother to winning hurdler Goldencard and is another with a future. Bucko's Boy has experience on his side but hasn’t run in more than a year.
