      Verdict

      Pastoral Music improved to finish fourth over 1m2f at Windsor last time giving the impression this longer trip would suit. But PUMBLECHOOK showed ability over today’s distance at Wolverhampton on his debut and Lucy Wadham’s colt may come out best in this with normal progress. Waiting For Richie is the second foal of a 1m4f winner and would not have to be anything out of the ordinary on his debut to get the better of Charioteer and Gaelic Master.
