Holetown Hero was engaged in the 12.25 Plumpton yesterday while stablemate Killaloan was due to run in the 2.00 at the same meeting. Kenzai Warrior was a Group 3 winner as a two-year-old but didn’t stay much beyond a mile on the Flat and stamina looked an issue when he was fourth on his hurdling debut at Huntingdon. BOLD REACTION didn’t look very happy on heavy going at Sandown but still managed to finish third. Conditions here will be much more to his liking and he should recoup losses though it will be interesting to see if there is any market support for Kayf Legend, who boasted decent form in bumpers. High Game Royal was no match for an easy winner at Lingfield but has place claims again.
