      Verdict

      NIETZSCHE completed a double on the Flat before making his debut over hurdles in a Listed contest at Wetherby. He couldn't cope with the very progressive Cliffs Of Dover but it was still a fine debut and he should go one better. Domperignon Du Lys has an excellent pedigree for jumping and though only scrambling home in a bumper in France could be a smart prospect. So Celebre only won once on the Flat but had some fair form and will have come on for his opening run over timber at Warwick where he made a few mistakes. Neither Goodknight Percy nor Rosarios showed much on the level, the latter in France.
