Verdict

The form of HEAR NO EVIL has been working out really well and he too could prove really well handicapped now especially if appreciating this step up to 3m which breeding and evidence on the track both suggest he will. Abolitionist is feared and there is little doubt he is extremely well in off this mark if he's ready after such a long absence so perhaps the market will best indicate expectations. Owner JP McManus has four representatives and his retained jockey Barry Geraghty chooses The Organist who is still off a competitive mark although softer ground would have been preferable.
  1. Hear No Evil
  2. Abolitionist
  3. The Organist
