He should have stripped a lot fitter for that run, and steps back up in trip to 2m6f on a flat track, which should be a lot more suitable.Įased to a mark of 132, the gelding is starting to look well treated, and if the first-time blinkers have the desired effect then he could easily get in the mix here.
However, he was taken off his feet over 2m, and probably needed the outing in any case on his seasonal reappearance and first start after wind surgery. It has been a little bit of a stop-start career for the 8-year-old who has been a little bit frustrating at times, and disappointed on his comeback when well beaten at Ascot last month.
This is a muddling affair,so I am looking for an each-way play, and the Paul Nicholls trained QUEL DESTIN fits the bill.
