Verdict

MY GIFT TO YOU has done little wrong since joining the James Owen yard and he is taken to make it 3-3 over fences on the back of a thoroughly decisive C&D success 16 days ago. Next on the list is File Illico, who has dropped to a potentially very handy mark and his latest third at Hereford represented a step back in the right direction. The 12-y-o Abaya du Mathan and Cloudy Wednesday are others to consider.

  2. FILE ILLICO (FR)
  3. ABAYA DU MATHAN (FR)
