        Verdict

        The three to note here are Clovis, Prince Hamlet and Strategic Knight with the vote going the the last named. The selection ran third on his debut at Lingfield behind Crosstar and in the process looked a little green. Improvement is on the cards and therefore he is the one they all have to beat. Prince Hamlet also ran well on his debut at Wolverhampton behind Desert Clover and is another who will improve for the experience. While Clovis is more exposed than most with four runs under his belt and while this is a drop in grade others are preferred. So for the winner we return to Strategic Knight.
