Several of these ran in the race won by Chookie Royale here in August. SMART RULER fared best and was only half-a-length behind last month’s Hexham winner Strong Team, who finished ahead Captain Revelation and Presenting Streak in between at Uttoxeter. The much younger Compatriot got off the mark when beating a subsequent winner at Newton Abbot and looks the danger as Mitcd weakened quickly at Kelso last time having pulled hard. Mash Potato was due to run the last at Newton Abbot yesterday.
