Verdict

GO TO WAR didn't do much wrong when third to Ballee (winner again since) at Taunton and, with the strong likelihood of better to come, he is taken to strike. Myfanwy's Magic and Jour d'Evasion can fill the places, while Gentleman Jacques is also accorded respect.

  1. GO TO WAR (IRE)
  2. MYFANWY'S MAGIC
  3. JOUR D'EVASION (FR)
