      Verdict

      PENTIRE HEAD cost €145,000 and is related to several winning bumpers and jumpers. He was green on his introduction at Chepstow in October and has been given time to mature. Kayf Dancer is out of a mare who has produced three winners from four offspring to race but White Turf has a staying chaser's pedigree, a remark that also applies to Hero's De Romay.
