Canonized is penalised for winning a Listed sprint at York in October having earlier finished ahead of Hellomydarlin when going close at Ayr. She’s taken to confirm running as both return to action but EL CABALLO is preferred. The latter beat only a couple of rivals in a conditions race at Wolverhampton last time but that was his first outing since May and Karl Burke’s colt has plenty of scope for further improvement.
