Verdict

WICK GREEN was impressive on debut for Ben Pauling and there's every chance he can follow up despite the presence of Camulus, an ex-pointer who shaped with encouragement on his recent chasing debut. Dan's Chosen is also considered.

  1. WICK GREEN
  2. CAMULUS (IRE)
  3. DAN'S CHOSEN (IRE)
