Verdict

The vote goes to LOVAT SCOUT, who was hampered at a crucial stage here recently and is better judged on his encouraging belated reappearance effort over C&D in September. Dropping back to 5f will help Dc Cogent and he rates the main danger, albeit only just as Ziggy's Triton is also accorded respect.
