Verdict

Austrian School was well beaten at Chelmsford after making a winning debut at Ripon but that form looks better now than it did at the time. Sunhill Lad is respected as he’s sure to improve on his third at Newcastle but GREAT SHOT SAM also showed promise on her introduction at Kempton, only finding one too good. She’ll know more today so gets the nod ahead of Beverley third Hyanna.
