Verdict
SATELLITE, a fair middle-distance performer on the Flat, opened his account over timber at Chepstow in April. He could develop into a useful handicapper this season and is taken to make a winning reappearance despite giving plenty of weight to Ivor's Queen, who won at Newton Abbot in June but was a bit disappointing at Uttoxeter last month. My Mo won a maiden hurdle at Stratford last month but this looks tougher. Trakeur has had plenty of chances and isn't getting any younger.
