Verdict

Very few of these arrive here in any kind of form, and despite his age it may be worth chancing FANTASY GLADIATOR. Michael Appleby's veteran hasn't won in a fair amount of time, but can run to a higher level than this race will require when at his best form, and it is fascinating to see him fitted with first time blinkers and eye shield given his age. His recent performances at around this trip have been particularly taking, and he is taken to see off La Isla Bonita, who has been running well on the all-weather recently, and Hidden Stash, who Hollie Doyle claims 3lb off the back of for the first time.
  1. Fantasy Gladiator
  2. La Isla Bonita
  3. Hidden Stash
