Verdict
WICKED THOUGHTS was bought for £135,000 in April after winning his sole start in a point by 25 lengths. He will likely be a short price to make a winning start under Rules even though some powerful NH yards have runners in this. Call To Duty should improve on a third at Taunton in the spring while Highlands Legacy and Jackpot Cash are newcomers to note. Doyen Quest represents the Skeltons but has been absent since running in a point in March of last year.
