      Verdict

      GORING TWO was clear and still cantering when he over-jumped at the last here last month and parted company with Charlie Deutsch – he deserves a chance to make amends. Head Spin was left in a remote third that day and struggles to get his head in front nowadays but there is probably more to come from Virtuose Du Chenet and his stable is in cracking form. Highbury High and Topthorn could figure if on a going day but the jury is still out on former pointer Slidecheck.
