In depth

Verdict

Taking Names had SUMMER IS TOMORROW a long way back in second when both made their debuts here but the winner was very disappointing next time and the runner-up, from a yard in blistering form, has made the better progress. The winner’s yard is also represented by Addicted To Chaos, a winner at Delaware in the summer but well beaten on his debut here. Nomasee won at Wolverhampton in September before beaten there a couple of weeks later while Freyabella completed a double at Chelmsford. Bet Law won a Listed contest in Uruguay last month. His stable has been amongst the winners here but his penalty may prove too much to handle on his track debut.
