Verdict

Probably the most competitive juvenile hurdle run to date. What Will Be, Two Blondes and Pola Chance came home second, third and fifth at Market Rasen behind Whiskey And Water with little between them at the business end. All will revolve around which makes the greatest progress from that first run. Similarly, Maria Magdalena and WAR EAGLE were second and third in the Aintree contest won by Must See The Doc but placings could be reversed. The selection, a winner on the level for John Gosden, looked green on debut and should improve considerably for the run. The market should sort out the newcomers with Galice Macalo making most appeal on paper. 3.00
