Verdict

CALGARY TIGER hasn't looked back since sent chasing and a 10 lb hike in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from going 3-3 in this sphere. Le Ligerien is another enjoying a new lease of life and Joe Tizzard's veteran is next on the list in his own hat-trick bid ahead of Destined To Shine, who will find these conditions more suitable.

  1. CALGARY TIGER
  2. LE LIGERIEN (FR)
  3. DESTINED TO SHINE (IRE)
