Verdict

Red Penny showed little on her reappearance but should strip fitter here, but A Hairy Koala finished tailed off at Ludlow earlier this month while long-standing maiden Revaader makes her seasonal reappearance. Colin Tizzard's pair Marden Court and Thistlecrack have shown promise, unlike stablemate Zanstra, and could figure but while the drop is distance is a bit of a worry for supporters of VIVANT POEME, his latest fourth at Taunton is just about the best recent form on offer and his yard can do little wrong at present.
