In depth
Verdict
Nevada and Sam's Gunner are possible improvers but Brunel Woods didn’t show much on his reappearance at Uttoxeter. Glittering Love, whose dam has produced winners with all of her foals to date, and Hear No Evil are definitely debutants to note for any market support but Larkhill point-to-point form is usually decent and CIRANO DE SIVOLA won easily at that track a little under a year ago. Warren Greatrex now trains the grey so fitness is unlikely to be an issue.
