In depth
Verdict
Hideo is 0-12 and racing from out of the handicap. DEDANSER didn’t take to fences at Ayr and was pulled up but he had decent form over hurdles last season and handles soft ground. Iroko was very highly tried after arriving from France last season and will appreciate this big drop in class while Jet Legs might still be improving and shouldn’t be ignored.
