In depth

Verdict

A couple of these bid for hat-tricks though Otto Oyl’s recent double came on soft going including a victory over track and trip with COSA SARA well beaten. But the latter has been winning on good ground subsequently and had Far From A Ruby back in third with Judgment Call and Caballero further behind when successful here last month. Mr Strutter does most of his winning over shorter trips including at Musselburgh recently though is still preferred to Sovereign Moon.
