Verdict

Poor fare and it could be worth giving COLDEN'S DREAM another chance on the back of his Wincanton return starting out for Harry Fry. This stiffer test is sure to suit him and a bigger performance could be on the way in first-time headgear. Secret Secret is very interesting back up in trip, while Sindabella and the free-going Dancingontheedge also make the shortlist.

  1. COLDEN'S DREAM (IRE)
  2. SECRET SECRET (IRE)
  3. SINDABELLA (FR)
