Verdict
Cremant has been knocking on the door at Stratford since being put back over fences but GETTHEPOT has been just as consistent and gets a handy 3lb - Fergal O’Brien’s gelding gets the nod. Dicey Rielly’s lack of experience was obvious at Cartmel but the run was not without promise. The remaining trio will all need to take a big step forward to figure.
