Verdict

Cossack Chach only had one run on the Flat before landing a Killarney maiden in good style. He will improve again though the concession of 3lb to WODHOOH may prove beyond him. Gordon Elliott‘s filly showed potential for the Stoute camp on the level and though only getting her debut success in the stewards‘ room was very impressive when completing a double at Punchestown. Obama Army won a couple of minor handicaps in the UK and though Bravewhenineedtobe is unraced she is a half-sister the very smart Martello Park.
