Dashing Roger (4/1), Talis Evolvere (9/2), Alpha Crucis (11/2), City Of York (7/1), Prince of Zenda (17/2), King's Code (17/2), Metal Merchant (9/1), Magic Memories (14/1), Dream Pirate (16/1), Carolus Magnus (16/1), Spirit Genie (28/1), Raising Sand (33/1), Achillea (40/1), One Night Thunder (66/1)

Verdict

TALIS EVOLVERE clearly improved markedly for a gelding operation coupled with the step up to 1m when a taking winner at Pontefract in September and the assessor may have taken a chance with this 3-y-os opening mark. There's plenty of depth to this, with City of York, Kings Code and Prince of Zenda a trio of potential threats.

  1. TALIS EVOLVERE (IRE)
  2. CITY OF YORK
  3. KING'S CODE
