      Verdict

      This won’t take much winning and SENATUS made a promising start when runner-up in a bumper at Uttoxeter back in May. He’s preferred to Ebony Rose and Afienya on that form and can go one better. One of the newcomers will probably prove a bigger threat with 30,000 euros purchase Sergio making most appeal ahead of Drums Of War, a half-brother to winners on the Flat.
