Verdict

The two improvers look the ones to concentrate on, and preference is just for THEO over Daulys Anthem . He only had to be pushed out to make a winning chase debut at Stratford and this track should suit. He can follow up at the expense of Daulys Anthem, doing absolutely nothing wrong at present but the handicapper has now had his say and he may need to improve again. That's far from impossible, of course, but Theo won't be any pushover. Lord Ben may be best of the rest.
