Verdict

Legal Ok is an improving seven-year-old who does have plenty of experience under Rules but EARTH LEADER has rattled up a hat-trick between the flags with the promise of plenty more to come and he should take all the beating if handling these trickier fences. Carrig Dubh, Dandan and Steel The China are all worthy of a mention but Un Huit Huit’s only victory so far came in a match.
