Verdict

WILBUR still looked in need of experience when third at Catterick last month but with his debut promise still fresh in the memory, Harry Eustace's colt gets the nod to make it third time lucky. Parvenue Star showed promise on debut so she could be the one to give the selection most to think about, while Costa Verde and Waakabb both seemingly newcomers worth noting representing powerful connections.
