    Verdict

    Box Office arrived at Jonjo O’Neill’s stable at the start of 2015 with a lofty reputation but he’s won just one of his 18 starts in the UK and has been very disappointing. COURT KING (NAP) was pulled up on his chasing bow but made no mistake here earlier in the month and should continue to progress – his stable could not be in better form. Winning pointer Cuirassier Dempire also represents a yard in cracking form and any market interest would be significant. Billing, however, has much to prove.
