Verdict

A cracking renewal of this Grade 1 novice in which GINTO is taken to build on his impressive Navan success and make it 3-3 in this sphere. Stablemate Hollow Games comes here unbeaten and rates a big threat while Whatdeawant and Grand Jury have plenty of potential too and also need considering.
