In depth

Verdict

A modest maiden which is unlikely to produce any world-beaters. Desert Ruler was a decent sort on the Flat and won twice, though never beyond 7f. INNISCASTLE LAD (NAP) was rated 3lb higher on the level and was second here in October before producing a better effort when third at Newcastle. He led at the last on the latter occasion and is the one to beat in this. Hello Fellas is held on that Newcastle run while Baracalu will need to improve on his fourth at Hexham.
