Verdict

Western Way has won three times over hurdles but this looks a bit short. Imperial Focus and Apres Midi occupied the places behind the odds-on House Of Commons at Ripon. The former was a 150/1 chance and won't be anywhere near those odds here after that promising effort. Warrior Prince showed a bit more at Newmarket and can make further progress but this can go to IDEALIST. Roger Varian's filly made a bright start at Windsor and would have finished closer at Haydock last month but for being impeded.
