Verdict
Kakamora was beaten almost 10 lengths by the progressive KARL PHILIPPE at Ludlow and will struggle to reverse that form, despite better terms. Fergal O’Brien’s seven-year-old can complete his hat-trick as Bangor and Hereford winner Yggdrasil would have preferred a softer surface and is upped in grade.
