Cosy Club hinted at ability in Ireland and wasn’t entirely disgraced on his first run for the Skeltons at Hereford so must have a decent chance in a race that won’t take much winning. But PIRATE LOOK wouldn’t need to improve much on his debut over timber at Huntingdon to go one better as he was rated far superior to his likely market rival on the Flat, even though he only managed to win a Redcar maiden. None of the others make much appeal on the limited evidence to date.
