OUT THE HAT’s third behind Happy Romance and Devious Company in a valuable sales race at York puts him on an entirely different level to his six rivals in this. He ran well at Hamilton either side of that and will be a short price today. Pivoting’s run at Beverley was too bad to be true and he is likely to be battling it out with Forbidden Secret for the minor places.
Out The Hat 6-4 (9-6) Led, ridden over 1f out, headed entering final furlong, kept on, 2nd of 5, 2 1/2l behind Blackrod (9-2) at Hamilton 6f stks (5) gs in Sep.
