Verdict

The most interesting of these, and by some way, is ALL CLASS. She has failed to threaten in this sphere and over fences so far, but she has improved markedly on the Flat in recent months, winning 2 of her 3 starts since switched to handicaps, and she resumes in this sphere on a potentially handy mark. Saga Aravis should be on the premises, while Lady Rocco and Nuttorridge are others to consider.

  1. ALL CLASS (FR)

  3. LADY ROCCO (IRE)
