CADEAU D’OR, a winner on the Flat, clearly needed the run and the experience when third at Newton Abbot and should be more than capable of picking up a fast-ground novice event this summer. Galahad Threepwood has done all of his winning so far on the all-weather but shaped nicely when third at Newcastle and Quid Pro Quo won a bumper on his debut in 2020 and is bred for jumping. Masteroftheheights has more experience that the others and will be hoping to make that count.
