Verdict

DECORATION OF WAR has picked up the progressive thread for his new yard, and was better than ever when second at Kempton last time. He is narrowly preferred to recent Chelmsford winner Mirbat, who remains with potential despite some quirks, with Prancing Oscar one to note in the market after a couple of pipe-openers to set him straight.
  1. Decoration Of War
  2. Mirbat
  3. Prancing Oscar
