Verdict

Not a strong-looking maiden and useful Flat stayer DIOCLETIAN could have what it takes to make his mark in this sphere at the first attempt if taking to it for Andrew Balding. Onemorefortheroad opened his account in a Newton Abbot bumper on his return last month and is respected now hurdling. Well-bred The Hoax could do better now jumping if all is well.

  1. DIOCLETIAN (IRE)
