Verdict

TACTICIAN is a progressive youngster clearly possessing bags of stamina and lost little caste in defeat when runner-up behind a thriving older rival at this course (14.2f) 2 weeks ago. Open to further improvement now his stamina is tested further, he makes plenty of appeal at the foot of the weights. Fellow 3-y-o Attila The Honey was a good winner at Newbury recently and that may not prove her limit. True Legend is another with more wins in him this year.
