Verdict

LOST TREASURE did well to win on his re-appearance and this Ballydoyle three-year-old is open to plenty of improvement now in just his third start. The drop to 5f isn't ideal but he can overcome it with a strong pace likely. Gopsies Daughter has to be respected and this C&D hat-trick seeker is in fantastic form. Shore Step has been running really well over further all the while looking like he might enjoy a drop to this trip so he too looks a leading candidate.
  1. Lost Treasure
