Verdict
Saint Jaguen placed twice at Market Rasen over the summer but all eyes will be on the less-exposed BALTRAY, who probably came up against a useful novice when beaten a length by Cape Vidal at Fontwell on his first try over timber. Black Occ is improving with experience and Strackan is bred for jumping but Divilskin weakened very quickly at Worcester on his hurdling debut, though the yard is in much better form now.
