Verdict

This won’t take much winning but Poppy Field has shown little so far. Sherman Klumpf has been pretty consistent at a lowly level but was behind MADE OF LIR, also wearing first-time cheekpieces, at Southwell and is only fractionally better off at the weights. None of the others make much appeal.
