Verdict

A cracking Grade 2 novice in prospect with the exciting STAR GATE the most persuasive option having created a superb impression when landing a deep race in a good time at Chepstow in October. Valleres failed to land the odds at Ludlow but remains one to be positive about and he's second choice.
