Verdict

There was plenty to like about LOMACHENKO's success at Leicester despite the fact that he probably didn't beat a great deal and he represents Nicky Henderson who won this with smart subsequent Grade Two winner Chef Des Obeaux last season. The obvious danger is Larkbarrow Lad especially in receipt of 6lb from the selection and after two seconds Philip Hobbs' charge looks assured to make another bold bid. It is hard to gauge Mister Tickle who won his only point-to-point but he could prove a smart recruit.
  1. Lomachenko
  2. Larkbarrow Lad
  3. Mister Tickle
