Verdict

Luckofthedraw finished strongly to win on similar going at Ffos Las on his first run for new connections but that’s earned him a penalty. Scorpion Haze appeared to run well at Ascot but the six-strong field finished in a heap that day having sauntered through the early stages. Cloudy Glen will also certainly need hurdles if not fences so DON DES FOSSES can make a winning start to his career under Rules having being sold for £35,000 after winning an Irish point in May.
