In depth
Verdict
On The Bandwagon was engaged yesterday at Carlisle. Sandy Brook wasn’t beaten far when third at Plumpton and winning pointer Dazzling Glory makes his debut under Rules having joined Dan Skelton. But HARTNELL HERO can make it third-time lucky having improved on his fourth at Newton Abbot in the autumn when second at Ludlow. Chanceux was a well-beaten second at Bangor but Moriko De Vassy is worth a market check being a half-brother to two winning jumpers.
