In depth
Verdict
Fourth in a maiden over track and trip in August, HASTY SAILOR is expected to improve now handicapping having undergone wind surgery subsequently and fitted with a tongue-tie on his return. Pledge Of Peace is also unexposed and makes his handicap debut while Rainbird may improve for this extra distance. Rafiot’s earlier win at Goodwood came over 1m1f but Licit has a shout on a recent second at Kempton and is preferred to Tawtheef and Hi There Silver.
