Verdict

WAR HORSE (NAP) finished runner-up to Grand Alliance over track and trip on last month’s seasonal debut. The latter has subsequently gone close in Listed company and Marco Botti’s charge looks the one to side with on that form. Tropez Power won at Wolverhampton at the end of last year while most of the remainder step up in trip. Victory scored over a mile at Kempton in November but Madame Ambassador is 8lb higher than when winning at Nottingham last term with Adjuvant and Wootton'sun looking on more favourable marks. Dark Mystery makes his handicap bow having been gelded since last in action.
