In depth
Verdict
QUID PRO QUO (NAP) has required connections to be patient but he justified that with a success at Warwick after a long layoff and his presence appears to have scared off most of the meaningful opposition. Vis A Vis has been campaigned as a stayer on the Flat and this is a first run over hurdles since 2019 while Ocean’s Of Money finished lame when appearing here last year and is likely to try to make the running,
