Verdict

ARQOOB could do with brushing up his jumping but the assessor has taken a chance with his opening mark in this sphere based on his Flat ability so he looks the most persuasive option. Dr T J Eckleburg represents a yard in excellent form and he's a threat, while the market may help assess Puffin Bay starting out for a new stable.
