Verdict

Realistically there are only two horses in the equation, those being the Wetherby foes ENCORE CHAMPS and Lord Yeats. The selection was a fortuitous winner on that occasion, although he did have the clear measure of his rival who was admittedly making his first start over hurdles. Lord Yeats didn't exactly need to show further improvement when landing a weak race in emphatic style at Sedgefield since, but Encore Champs was tackling a completely different level of opponent in the Grade 2 Kennel Gate at Ascot (and predictably struggled).
  1. Encore Champs
  2. Lord Yeats
  3. Mint Gold
