Verdict

There was market support for READY AND ABLE on his seasonal comeback at Aintree in April and, while he didn't live up to expectations, there's reason to believe we've not yet seen the best of him. With new headgear and Jonjo O'Neill's claim, he should go well in this competitive affair. Van Gogh Du Granit can take his chance off a lower mark over timber and is in good form, ensuring he joins Follow The Bear (frontrunner) and Solo Saxophone on the shortlist.
  1. Ready And Able
  2. Van Gogh Du Granit
  3. Solo Saxophone
