In depth

Verdict

Dara McGill won a maiden point in May on AUGHAFATTEN and gave the five-year-old a confident ride on his debut under Rules in a Perth bumper. Gerald Quinn’s charge should complete his hat-trick in this under the 7lb claimer. Professor Higgins was third at Worcester in July when trained by Nicky Henderson but Pic The Power may have more scope being a half-brother to winning hurdler Nazwa.
