Verdict

GARDENER stopped the slide fitted with a tongue tie when third (to Bathgate) over C&D on only his second outing for this yard and he's potentially on a good mark if building on that. Bathgate can make another bold bid again, with other last-time-out winners Born In The West and Kingston Narcissus also feared.
