Verdict
My Reward has been in woeful form since winning last year’s renewal off a higher mark and Sleeping Lion remains 8lb higher than when successful at Newbury last summer though has placed on the all-weather recently. CALIBURN was having his first start since August when finishing in front of Everything For You in a decent handicap at York last month. He wasn’t beaten that far in fifth and Andrew Balding’s colt looks up to winning off his current mark this year. Isidor Bonheur Yes has placed in Listed company in France but had just the one start last year and debuts for a new yard while Blue Laureate is preferred to Claire Underwood and Jabbaar of the remainder.
