Verdict

Abaya Du Mathan is well treated nowadays but on a long losing run. Le Ligerien made all at Plumpton having a first run for new connections and that is stronger form than Blacko’s defeat of two rivals in a beginners’ chase at Leicester. JOBESGREEN LAD won over 2m5f here in November and followed up at Ludlow. A further 8lb rise looks harsh but he is clearly heading in the right direction.
