WINTER FOG has had a couple of ordinary runs over fences but is well suited by the race conditions and is well clear on official ratings, especially with his rider's claim taken into account. Jeff Kidder had a brilliant juvenile campaign culminating in a Grade 1 victory at Punchestown though he hasn't quite made the expected progress. The Bosses Oscar ran in Grade 3's the last twice without showing much while Gallant John Joe has mainly been racing over fences and has a bit to find back over timber.
