Verdict
DOLPHIN SQUARE easily beat Right Of Reply when making a winning start in hunter chases at Kelso two weeks ago. He’ll need to brush up his jumping to go to the top in this sphere but another victory here would enhance his education. Tullys Touch was too good for Laser Beam at Fakenham and is another with scope under Rules while Green Winter has solid form between the flags but, like Spanish Fleet, is in the veteran stage now.
