Verdict

HUGIN is interesting returning from over a year off the track having been gelded and joined David Simcock during the interim. He was third for David Wachman at Dundalk on last year’s debut behind subsequent Group 3 winner Peace Envoy. Rated 75, Navarone sets the standard back in maiden company and is weighted to beat the older Deansgate while Katheef, a half-brother to three winners, and Mio Ragazzo are both newcomers to note.
