In depth

Verdict

Alpha Indi and Cornish Warrior have hinted at ability but CIRANO DE SIVOLA is likely to be a short price for this. Warren Greatrex’ grey won a Warwick bumper on only his second start for his new yard. He was more than 20 lengths ahead of Allez Jacques that day and he’s a half-brother to a Listed and Grade 3 winner in France so should be even better now going jumping.
