Verdict
UTILITY, a Flat-bred son of Yeats, runs in the Magnier colours so will be expected to win races and this looks a good start. Fellow newcomer Boatswain could also be interesting and Tom George does well with his converts from the point-to-point circuit so last year's Ballysteen winner Big Bad Dude is worth a market check. You Say What has also won between the flags and took on decent opposition at Sandown after finishing a close-up third at Ffos Las on his debut under Rules. Road To Rome was second at Bangor in April and also has experience on his side.
