      Verdict

      Strike The Pose made a winning debut over track and trip before taking in a Listed race at Huntingdon. That first run has worked out quite well but she does have a penalty to carry, meaning she has to shoulder the same weight as the geldings. HITMAN FRED changed hands for £90,000 after winning a point at Bartlemy last May. He’s by established NH sire Getaway out of an Oscar mare so is bred for the job. Highland Hunter has also won between the flags and Skye Chief can only improve on a second at Musselburgh earlier this month.
