Verdict
Several of these would have been happier with a few hurdles to jump. Tigerten is one but has won twice on the Flat and Arthalot, who has also been action over timber, has also won on the level. MONJULES hasn’t but he’s won four times over hurdles and is rated 114 – he races off just 57 in this. Easter Icon won over 2m at Southwell last month and Got Bright won on the Flat in France.
