Verdict

A top-class novice contest in which there's no place for the faint-hearted with no shortage of pace in the line-up. With that firmly in mind, it's equally likely that any fencing deficiencies will be sorely exposed from an early stage so each of these horses will need to be at the very top of their game. La Bague Au Roi is an adorable mare who has the assistance of Richard Johnson in the saddle. Topofthegame is a maiden over fences (0-1) but remains fully unexposed post wind surgery whilst Bags Groove continues to go from strength to strength. However, the sky really is the limit for SANTINI with his impressive chasing debut win franked since by Rocky's Treasure.
