Taste The Fear is the only one of these with racecourse experience and he showed a glimpse of ability for previous connections in Ireland. Richard Newland is likely to eke out further improvement but Harry Fry looks to have found a good opportunity for FREDDIE DARLING. He has a Flat pedigree so is likely to have too much pace for the majority of these. Fiddlers Tracker could be one to watch when going jumping as he’s a half-brother to the likes of Irish Cavalier and Shattered Love, though will probably need further.
