IRRELEVANT signed off for Richard Hughes on a winning note and it could be that a change of jockey brings about a desired freshening up of the gelding on his second start for a new yard. Green Sigma has already had two looks around here and a handicap mark of 65 doesn’t appear to be especially onerous. China Trade wouldn’t be out of this were she able to reproduce the form of her debut at Haydock Park. Havana Touch had to contend with the late removal of his blindfold at Kempton Park so his third placing on the night was arguably better than it reads upon the bare figures. Moreginplease has made the frame on his two most recent starts on the Turf and cannot be ruled out.
