    Verdict

    There may only be five entries in this but it’s not an easy puzzle to solve and is further complicated by the fact that Duke Of Bronte was due to run yesterday at Sandown. POUVOIR MAGIQUE and Petitioner are recent maiden winners and the least exposed and we’ll take the former to appreciate the step up to 1m4f and continue his progression. The Grand Visir was behind Duke Of Bronte at Newbury earlier this month and looks as though he’d benefit from a longer trip but Sable Island might have needed his latest run at Wolverhampton so can’t be ignored.
