        Verdict

        Double Dragon only cost £12,000 but is a half-brother to a winning hurdler. The Flat-bred TOPKAPI was only beaten half-a-length at Huntingdon on his racecourse debut and may have too much for the later Huntingdon winner Dirty Den, though the latter’s penalty is negated by James Turner’s claim. Caress Of Steel is also Flat bred while Simply Belle has hinted at ability and has place claims again.
