NOTORIOUSLY RISKY seemed determined to live up to his name when trained in Ireland and placed eight times in 13 outings. Rated 79 as recently as August, the change of scenery may bring improvement and he gets a speculative vote on his debut for Archie Watson’s yard. Crunchie made a promising debut over 6f at Kempton and can figure while Mick's Spirit has placed on several occasions and looks best of the remainder.
