Verdict

Fusionice cost €92,000 as a three-year-old. He’s a brother to smart jumper Bacardys and has joined Philip Hobbs since a fourth in a point last year. Glory And Honour was first past the post in a maiden point in February but subsequently disqualified. Glimpse Of Gala finished third at Southwell earlier this month and Black Panther filled the same position at Newcastle in January. Generous Leader is worth a market check but this can go to another newcomer in RED MAPLE. He is out of a Presenting mare so should have a future under NH Rules and he should also get speed and stamina from his sire.
