Verdict

An interesting opener, featuring several unexposed sorts. IDEFIX DE CIERGUES promises to be well suited by this step up to 3m and gets the vote to make a successful switch to handicap company. Wrappedupinmay, Top Cloud, who has thrived since switching to Robbie Llewellyn, and Micro Millions head the many dangers.
