Verdict

The Taunton novice BRILLIANT PRESENT finished fourth in last time has been well advertised since and the assessor may have taken a chance with her opening mark representing a top yard. Legal Rights justified heavy support on Boxing Day and is an obvious threat under a penalty, with Merry Mistress also considered.

  1. BRILLIANT PRESENT (IRE)
  2. LEGAL RIGHTS (GER)
  3. MERRY MISTRESS (IRE)
