Verdict
Platinumcard was second on his debut at Hexham and Creggan White Hare was runner-up at Sedgefield when very easy to back. Both are open to improvement while Sambezi made a winning start under Rules and may also be capable of better. The Electrician and Let There Be Love have staying pedigrees and FETE CHAMPETRE, a €70,000 half-brother to the smart Ballymoy, looks a better bet among the newcomers.
