        Verdict

        American Gerry stayed on into second here on his debut under Rules but will probably need further in time. A beaten favourite twice, Kandoo Kid looks to make it third-time lucky but ROCK LEGEND was very green when strongly fancied to make a winning debut at Aintree in November and should know more now. Toutatis is improving with experience while any market support for either Trust The Dreams or Here Hare Here should be noted.
