In depth

Verdict

Born To Please scored over the trip at Nottingham in October then followed up over hurdles a few weeks later though prefers softer ground. Isle of Wolves looked a likely future winner when runner-up at Newbury and was backed accordingly at Newmarket but finished a long way last of four and has questions to answer. Ididitforyoooo was a 200/1 chance on her first start for new connections at Kempton but ran much better than expected though it's about time HARLOW was winning again. On a long losing run since making a winning debut in 2017, he looked like scoring over a mile at Yarmouth only to be caught close home and he's better over this trip.
