TAP N GO LEO has form in the book with a debut success at Hereford and a conditional’s allowance negates today’s penalty. Western Harmony and Castle Ivers are point-to-point maiden winners purchased for £115,000 and £95,000 respectively and the former also has a conditional’s 7lb claim in his favour but the newcomer Shuile Warrior look up against it.
