Verdict

TRAVAIL D'ORFEVRE took a step forward when scoring at Carlisle and, with his yard among the winners and further progress not out of the question, he is taken to follow up. He's up against two course specialists in Cudgel and Treshnish, mind, with the former, who was fourth behind the selection at Carlisle and now 4 lb better off for a three-length beating, feared most. Doyouknowwhatimean arguably possesses the greatest potential of these but this drop back in trip is of dubious benefit.
