HOLD ON JULIO gained his fourth success between the flags at Friars Haugh last month and is in such good heart that he can gain his first success under Rules. Sue Taylor's Rakerin Lad was well beaten in his only hunter chase but the ground was very firm that day and he showed himself in good form when scoring at Corbridge under Gillon Crow last month. Alan Brown's Silk Parasol wins his share of point-to-points but hasn't done much when stepping into this sort of company.
