In depth
Verdict
A useful chase for this time of year and the classy Europa is likely to take a deal of beating. Yet to fulfil his potential over fences, this trip round here is unlikely to bring out the best in him, but he should still have to much pace for southern raider Just In Time. A useful hurdler, he turned in a solid performance on his debut when beating Midland Flame at Exeter, and although he can only improve on that, he lacks the experience of Europa. There are more race to be won with Imaginaire, but he may find these too sharp over this trip.
