Skeaping sports headgear for the first time as he drops down in class having been well beaten in a maiden at Salisbury last time. Boutan has won three times in selling company this year, including her latest start at Chepstow under today’s apprentice, but COLD FUSION can edge this. She’s been competing over longer trips recently but won a handicap over 1m2f at Newmarket back in July and gets the vote on that form. Rajadamri has also won a handicap this year and is preferred to Adventure Zone of the remainder.
