In depth

Verdict

Huntingdon bumpers frequently throw up useful types and this could be another one that unearths a decent sort or two. The market should prove highly instructive with regard to Ritual Of Senses after an absence of over 400 days, the Henderson newcomers Thomas Campbell and Silverhow and another first-timer in Alan King's Zipple Back. Mr Fenton rates a possible improver along with Al Reesha but BAGS GROOVE posted a very promising debut at Ascot back in November and will prove hard to beat if in the same form after a break. The main concern is the current form of the normally excellent Harry Fry team which has been somewhat low-key since the turn of the year so a market check is advised.
