Verdict

LORD BERTIE seems sure to progress if all is well and this could be a good opening for him on his return. The well-regarded Dark Desire did everything right when scoring at Haydock and can go on improving. Operation Gimcrack, behind Karl Burke's charge at Haydock, should also do better.

  1. LORD BERTIE (FR)
  2. DARK DESIRE
  3. OPERATION GIMCRACK (IRE)
