    Verdict

    Pic D'Orhy finally came good at Ffos Las last month and Millers Bank, also smart over timber, was very impressive on his chasing bow at Huntingdon. TEA CLIPPER has to give weight to his rivals but looked an excellent prospect when scoring in a Listed contest at Chepstow against more-experienced rivals. There should be plenty more to come from Tom Lacey’s six-year-old. Nassalam only won a handicap at Ascot but a weight-for-age allowance is in his favour again here and he should go well again.
