Verdict

HUNTING BROOK landed a gamble upped markedly in trip at Down Royal last week and looks capable of following up under a penalty with further improvement likely for his new stable. I Am Spider Man and Blenheim Belle are a couple of potential threats.

  1. HUNTING BROOK (IRE)
  2. I AM SPIDER MAN (IRE)
  3. BLENHEIM BELLE (IRE)
