Verdict

No shortage of 'ifs and buts' in a very winnable looking finale, so the obvious candidate is the Dan Skelton-trained TOO MUCH TOO SOON. The Alcester handler is an expert at rejuvenating others cast-offs, and he soon had this 9yo in the winners enclosure at Warwick in May. It's entirely possible that he lived up to his name when finding the follow up option (under a penalty) at Uttoxeter coming plenty quickly enough. However, fresh from a summer break and with both trip and ground conditions seemingly ideal, he can be expected to kick off the new season in style.
  1. Too Much Too Soon
  2. Strongly Suggested
  3. Amber Gambler
