Verdict

Likearollingstone hinted at ability for John Supple in Ireland and was third on his UK debut at Hereford, though beaten 35 lengths. Lauberhorn is steadily improving and was second at Ffos Las on his latest start while there should be more to come from Silver Steed, fourth over 2m4f here 11 days ago. A market move for Gods Ground would be interesting but BOBOWEN is preferred and he looked as though ready for a longer trip when third at Uttoxeter on his first start for Richard Newland.
