Verdict
ASTRALOGICAL hails from a powerful yard and though likely to be better when getting a stiffer test over jumps may have enough pace to see off these rivals. Those with experience have shown nothing though Bach To Front does have the distinction of running in the races won by Festival Bumper 1-2 Cheltenian and Destroyer Deployed. No Idea could prove best of the newcomers though her dam is related to some decent stayers including Better Times Ahead.
