As form figures reveal, most of these are finding it hard to find the winner's circle with SAUMUR a notable exception. The Coakley mare, a fair handicapper at an ordinary level on the Flat, has shaped well on all four hurdling outings. There should be more to come as she gains experience and a competitive run is anticipated on this second handicap start. Kootenay River, consistent but vulnerable, shoulders top weight on this first start for a new yard so Panic And Run is suggested as next best on his first run for the Twiston-Davies team after showing some promise for Henry Daly. Multigifted is exposed but continues to run her race and has decent each-way claims.
