Verdict
Plenty with claims though OBSIDIAN KNIGHT has gone the closest to winning when beaten only a short-head over course and distance on his debut. Second Kingdom also found only one too good here but that was over 1m4f while Flying Instructor placed over the same distance at Lingfield. The Worthy Brat improved to finish a close-up fourth over track and trip while the likes of New Force and Geminga are not out of this either.
