In depth
Verdict
A competitive hunter chase with General Wolfe taken to come out on top. The selection, formerly a useful handicapper, is getting no quicker, but is still more than capable. Knight Templar proved his well being when a clear cut winner at Sedgefield, but he would be some way behind the selection at his best, while Dancetillyoudrop and Storm Of Gold can fight out the remaining place.
