Verdict

ORVAR made his first start since joining this yard and his first outing since wind surgery a winning one when successful last time and he can register a third win in three AW starts by taking this competitive looking Listed contest. The draw could have been kinder today but he looks to be an improved performer on the AW and can get the better of Tomily who finished third behind the selection last time out. Gracious John has disappointed the last twice but a repeat of the form he showed when twice victorious in December should see him play a hand in the finish.
  1. Orvar
