In depth
Verdict
TEQANY has so far failed to win on the Flat but was progressive over timber last year and finished runner-up in the Elite Hurdle at Wincanton. Fergal O’Brien’s charge may well be ahead of the handicapper back under this code but Murhib missed out on a hat-trick off today’s mark at Chelmsford last month. Indigo Times’ winning run came to an end in a higher grade at Goodwood while Al Kout struggled at the same track last time having earlier finished second at Ascot. Muftakker faces a tough task upped in class for this.
