In depth

Verdict

Cabot Hills began his career at Ballydoyle and placed over a mile as a juvenile. Green Book made the frame on numerous occasions on the Flat but didn’t manage to win a race, though hurdling sets up new opportunities. Herbiers, a winning bumper in France, chased home the unbeaten Fiveandtwenty at Musselburgh on his jumping debut but was flattered by his proximity to the winner. Saint Palais was just beaten over fences in October but this can go to TABLE MOUNTAIN, who was a dour stayer on the level and showed promise at Kempton when just behind a subsequent winner.
