The yards involved suggest this could well be an above average juvenile contest for the time of season in which the market, as usual, should be instructive. Richard Fahey fires a double salvo with Tony Hamilton aboard newcomer Clouds Rest whilst Adam Kirby takes the mount on once-raced BURTONWOOD. The latter seemed sure to make a successful debut at Leicester before succumbing in the final strides to the rallying and more experienced Flyball who ran a fair fourth at the Craven meeting during the week. Newcomers Celestial Vision, Dr No and Emef Rock all look interesting on paper but experience can often prove to be such a decisive factor in these early juvenile skirmishes and Burtonwood gets the nod to go one better.
