In depth
Verdict
TEMUR KHAN was fitted with a hood for the first time on his latest start and won a selling handicap over track and trip. There could be more to come in the headgear and he’s just preferred to Hooves Like Jagger. The latter finished in front of It's How We Roll when runner-up here recently while Alambrista was beaten only a neck at Lingfield and Eton Blue is partnered by a leading amateur.
