Much better was expected of Khitaamy when sent off favourite at Chelmsford but he could only manage fifth and DANDYS DENOUEMENT is taken to improve past him. Last on his earlier debut, he took a big step forward when just denied over today’s trip at Thirsk last time and Brian Ellison’s charge won’t start at 100/1 on this occasion. Hamriyah also finished closer on his latest start without threatening the principals though that was over 5f and he attempts this longer trip for the first time.
