Verdict

This interesting novice may develop into a straight fight between PIPESMOKER and Robin's Dream, with a narrow preference for Nicky Henderson's returning 6-y-o who chased home the very smart Sporting John at Ascot when last seen a year ago. Red Rookie looks pick of the remainder.

  1. PIPESMOKER (FR)
