Verdict
None of these make much appeal on recent form with only a token vote going to GO ALL THE WAY. The latter failed to win sporting the J P McManus colours in Ireland though was still in contention when falling three out at Navan on his penultimate start and debuts for new connections. Legal Ok won over hurdles in 2020 and has had just the one outing since while Caro Des Flos scored at Worcester last summer and Vocaliser slides further down the weights.
