Verdict
This is not a race likely to live long in the memory. Calidus Mirabilis has plenty of experience but was last of four finishers on his UK debut at Plumpton and is vulnerable to a newcomer. SEFTON WARRIOR is a son of Frankel who stayed 1m6f on the Flat. He sports headgear and is fitted with a tongue strap today but that shouldn’t put off potential backers as he is probably the one to beat if his jumping holds up. Asharann won over an extended 7f at Cagnes-Sur-Mer at the start of the year and Opine and Donald Llewellyn represent powerful NH yards so are also worth a second look.
