PIC D’ORHY (NAP) gave Friday’s Fontwell winner Kissesforkatie 23lb and a beating at Newton Abbot last month and may be finally ready to fulfil his potential. Does He Know was an early faller at Kelso on his reappearance but won a Grade 2 at Ascot last season and is no mug. Fantastikas was also a useful novice last season but Dazzling Glory has been coming up short in lesser company since scoring at Fontwell in August. Victorias Peak was engaged in the 1.15 Wincanton yesterday.
