Verdict
GENTLEMAN AT ARMS was only beaten a neck in a Listed race over course and distance last month and a repeat of that effort would suffice in this grade. Honest Oscar was last seen running in a bumper at the end of 2020 but Ballaquane should be coming to hand after a couple of runs this term. Propelled was second in a bumper here in January but failed to build on that promise at Hereford.
