With limited evidence, the market is likely to be the best guide for this. ERNEST GRAY made a winning start for Alan King in bumpers. He was a bit disappointing on his second run for the yard but that was in a Grade 2 and he could make up into a useful novice hurdler. Doyouknowwhatimean might do better having had a wind operation and Half Dozen was very green at Stratford in March. Libberty Hunter changed hands for £160,000gns after winning a couple of bumpers so will be expected to pay his way but American Sniper didn’t get far at Newton Abbot last month and Ice Coast might need this.
