Verdict

The clear pick of these is CAVALIER DU LUY, who was successful between the flags during the spring and was just touched off starting out in this sphere at Ayr last month. He is open to improvement and looks sure to win races over hurdles. Fellow point winner Malayalam will be of interest if the market speaks in his favour ahead of this Rules debut, while Mr Lincoln also needs a second look in the betting.
