Verdict

Pink Gin has been in decent form over timber lately but his yard is currently in the doldrums. Behind The Wire was only beaten half-a-length at Doncaster after winning at Taunton but Jonjo O’Neill should know where he stands with Tom George’s novice in relation to BEGGARS CROSS (NAP). The latter found plenty in the closing stages when beating more experienced rivals at Doncaster and there is probably more to come now he’s got his head in front. Kilcullen Flem seems best at Bangor while Have A Go Hero has got nowhere near in four runs to date under Rules.
