Verdict
Ziggy's Condor was no match for the winner in a valuable sales race here last month though still finished ahead of Pilgrim. But the former is penalised for a debut success at Pontefract and THE COFFEE POD may edge this. The latter was beaten less than a length in a decent novices race at Ripon behind a winner rated 89 and the Hannon colt should go close again. Bondy cost 450,000gns as a half-brother to several Listed winners and Rebel Icon is related to five winners.
