YOU’RE FIRED (NAP) returned to form with a second to Ennaadd, rated 106, in Listed company at Kempton in November. This is looks no tougher and Karl Burke’s charge can go one better. Realize also has strong claims on his recent success in a conditions race at Chelmsford albeit over 7f while Captain Cat would also figure if repeating last year’s second in Listed company at Windsor. Alfred Hutchinson was beaten in a handicap last time though won a conditions race over 7f here before that but both Kingston Kurrajong and Dollar Reward have plenty to find on these terms.
