Verdict

CORONADO JOE relished the stiffer stamina test when opening his account at Fontwell and a 7 lb rise shouldn't prevent Chris Gordon's promising young stayer from following up here. Bert Wilson showed the benefit of cheekpieces when posting an excellent fourth at Ffos Las and is feared most with the headgear retained, while Sweet Spirit still has few miles on the clock and can have a say too.

  1. CORONADO JOE
  2. BERT WILSON (IRE)
  3. SWEET SPIRIT (FR)
