Verdict

Irish import Brandt ran poorly on his hurdling debut and others are more interesting. HAVOCK is by a prolific NH sire and a half-brother to a winning hurdler and it’s significant that Harry Skelton prefers him to Warwick sixth Hot Fizzy Lizzy. What A Johnny placed twice in points while Gladys Eva Jane went close in a couple of bumpers last season running for a different yard.
