Slipofthepen (4/9), Finn's Charm (9/2), Grey's Monument (8/1), Captain Winters (12/1)

Verdict

SLIPOFTHEPEN outclassed the opposition in a brace of 1m novice events at Kempton 4 months apart and his Group 1 entries confirm the regard he's held in. He can remain unbeaten switched to turf, though Finn's Charm is a streetwise opponent who will be dangerous if getting into a nice rhythm at the head of affairs.
