Verdict

Wise Move hinted at ability last season but it's no surprise that Barry Geraghty prefers stable companion DARLAN, who won a Haydock bumper by 27 lengths on his racecourse debut in April. He should land this and go on to better things. Henrietta Knight's pair, Craignure and Gingers Reflection may need more time, and the same remark applies to Harry Le Fise Lake, Sleeping City and Thecircleoftrust.
