Verdict

TUNE IN A BOX showed marked improvement and was well on top at the finish when making a successful handicap debut at Newcastle a couple of months ago. He's the sort to go on improving, so he takes preference over Clovis Boy and Colonel Whizz, who both promise to be well suited by the step up in trip.

  1. TUNE IN A BOX (IRE)
  2. CLOVIS BOY
  3. COLONEL WHIZZ (IRE)
