Verdict

ART OF DIPLOMACY made the perfect start for Dr Richard Newland at Ludlow and a subsequent 8 lb rise shouldn't prevent a very bold follow-up bid. This is competitive though, with Mr Washington and Scarpia just a couple of potential threats.

  1. ART OF DIPLOMACY
  2. MR WASHINGTON (IRE)
  3. SCARPIA (IRE)
