Verdict

Question marks against most of these in the short-term but that isn't the case with dual Flat winner LOOK MY WAY who shaped encouragingly on his hurdling bow at Newcastle when just edged out by Act of Valour. That form may have taken a knock since but John Quinn's mud-loving gelding will relish these conditions and he is hard to get away from with Richard Johnson taking over in the saddle. Any value in the place market may lie with Lord County, though there may be more to come from Sommervieu after he was pitched into the deep end for his British debut.
