Verdict

PFINGSTBERG ran well on the back of an 8-month break when third over 14f here 21 days ago, keeping on having been set a lot to do. Open to further progress now his stamina is tested further, he could just be worth chancing to build on that effort now. Wolverhampton-scorer Wannabe Brave rates next best, with Further Measure another to bear in mind from what rates a workable mark.

  1. PFINGSTBERG (GER)
  2. WANNABE BRAVE (IRE)
  3. FURTHER MEASURE (USA)
