Verdict
Newcomers to note in this include Footloose, a £26,000 half-brother to a winning hurdler, and Jimmy The Digger, a half-brother to his in-form stable’s winning hurdler Crucial Role. Irish raider Epalo De La Thinte and Armattiekan have point-to-point experience while Mint Gold made a fair start when third at Perth. TEL’ART hung under pressure when joint favourite on his debut at Warwick in May but will know more today and can recoup losses.
