Verdict
This might be on the sharp side for Fred Hutsby's Haydock sixth Killimore Cottage so Gina Andrews' mount CAN MESTRET is given another chance. In good to form in point-to-points this season, he was on the heels of the leaders when falling at Stratford last month. Hopefully, that won't have affected his confidence. Master Workman is more consistent that Ferris Bueller while Sud Nivernais, a recent winner between the flags, makes his debut under Rules in this country.
