Verdict

Sirabad's jumping was all over the place on his debut over fences at Sandown and he was eventually pulled-up. He can still figure if producing a more fluent display but ON TOUR is preferred. The latter made a winning start over the larger obstacles when scoring at Exeter and Evan Williams' charge is taken to defy a penalty. Looking Well is rated higher over timber than Quick Brew and the latter was well beaten on his chasing bow back in May while Silk Hall has had seven starts over fences without success.
