In depth

Verdict

Quicker going and a sharper track have to be concerns for PRIVATORY but he won nicely at Sandown on his first start for new connections and is rated 7lb higher than the other previous winner, Geometrical, who is conceding 5lb due to being a year older. Point Him Out won on fast ground in the States and looked to be getting the hang of hurdling when fourth at Wincanton while Right Turn was second three times on the Flat in Ireland but has yet to win a race.
