Verdict
Placed at Ascot and Newbury in the autumn, Henry Candy appears to have found a good opportunity for TWILIGHT CALLS, rated 85, to open his account. General Sago didn’t do a lot wrong when third at Pontefract and will surely improve on that while Queen Of Asia is related to winners and cost €115,000 as a yearling so will be expected to pay her way. The First Hurrah has shown some promise but her future may lie in handicaps.
