Verdict
No Limitations was all out to score for Emma Yardley at Larkhill in December but did, at least, prove his well-being. Caviar D'Allen had a run at Alnwick in the same month and Cousin Pascal could give the form a boost in the first division. Premier Magic looks a threat to all having beaten the odds-on Wishing And Hoping in an open at Chaddesley Corbett a couple of months ago while Idee De Garde showed ability when with Dan Skelton, though may need this. I’M WISER NOW is 0-10 under Rules but back with Fergal O’Brien after again finding one too good in a point at Barbury. The stable’s promising conditional Liam Harrison claims 7lb so he’ll have no excuses today.
