Verdict

Gordon Elliott has always held BATTLEOVERDOYEN in the highest regard and barring his Albert Bartlett blip the young star remains unbeaten. After impressing greatly at Galway last time he can stamp himself a top class novice by winning this Grade 2 contest. Although he has his issues as shown last time out Sayo may well be the biggest danger with his demolition job the time before not easily forgotten. A low-key start to the campaign shouldn't mean Cheltenham Festival winning chaser Any Second Now is taken lightly either.
  1. Battleoverdoyen
