Verdict

JUST US TWO raced three times as a juvenile, showing progressive form on each start, culminating in a comfortable success at Nottingham over this trip in the forecast ground. He's acceptably treated for this initial excursion into handicap company and hopefully sprint maestro, Robert Cowell, will have him nicely tuned up for this first start since last October. He certainly looked all about speed last season. Vimy Ridge is respected but his last ten starts have come over further which is a slight concern, whilst the very best form of Lackaday would bring the Jarvis contender into the equation. However, the fascinating one to note if Francisco, representing the Hannon-Hughes tandem. The unexposed son of Paco Boy scored on his second start at Lingfield and now drops a full 2f in trip. It's an interesting move from a top yard and he looks a threat to all.
