In depth

Verdict

A tentative TEAMtalk selection in Environmentalist given the absence of any form elsewhere. Fifth in a decent Newbury maiden, the horse went into many notebooks as a horse for the future. The five month break should have seen plenty of development in the interim period and if he is fit enough, he should go close. Mark Johnston had a maiden winner earlier in the week at Pontefract and he saddles Shanley in this race. The engagement is certainly eyecatching but she will probably need further on breeding. Its unusual to see an unraced five-year-old gelding from the David Loder camp but the jockey booking does not suggest this to be the next Cigar.
