CALIPSO COLLONGES won in a canter at Uttoxeter last week in his first run for Olly Murphy. He’s impossible to oppose in what looks a much weaker race, despite a penalty. Sackett was pulled up in that race, as he was on his reappearance at Huntingdon, so Drumlee City looks the one for forecast-backers given he’s hinted at ability and runs in his first handicap. Monzino is 0-24 under NH Rules and 21lb out of the handicap proper.
