Verdict
LONDON would have been expected to have won by now though he undoubtedly came up against something special in Herald The Dawn at Naas where he attempted to make all. There should be some more improvement in him and he can go one better. That winner is trained by Jim Bolger, whose newcomer Lorendano is of interest as she's related to a couple of decent winners though another first-timer, Brevet, could prove even more of a threat as he's a half-brother to the Group 3 winner Tested and other winners. Sevenleft made a very encouraging debut at Leopardstown and started odds-on in a four-horse race at Fairyhouse but found Rich Jade just too strong.
