Verdict

Gumball won this contest last year but there doesn't appear to be anything of that quality lurking now and, with so little to recommend on form, it is hoped the French import SANTANI can build on the promise of his Flat career to make a winning start for Tom Symonds. Cock A Doodle Doo appears to lack a gear change but does drop back into novice company while another newcomer Last Chance Paddy is also worth some consideration.
