In depth
Verdict
No form to go on here so, unless the market suggest otherwise, this looks a good opportunity for BUTCH, who is a full brother to two winning bumpers. Propelled is also interesting having cost €65,000 and being the first foal to race of the stable’s useful hurdler Polly Peachum while Mr Gold is Flat bred so shouldn’t be short of speed.
