Verdict
TEAK was a non-runner in the Cesarewitch Trial at Newmarket yesterday and would have a cracking chance if turning up here as he's been in great form on the level and over jumps lately. Cygnet stays well and won at Perth over the summer while Massannie ran well in better company at Newton Abbot last month, though has struggled to get her head in front recently. The maiden Spa Hill may be the pick of the remainder as Fighter Jet was soon beaten on his return to action and the novice Hazzaat disappointed last time at Fontwell.
