In depth
Verdict
KALGANOV returned to winning ways over track and trip with cheekpieces applied for the first time and can confirm running with Bowood raised only 2lb. The latter wasn’t beaten far and should be in the mix once again but Illusionist steps up in trip after placing over 6f here. Abruzzo Mia won a lower grade contest at the track in September but Larado disappointed when expected to figure at Chelmsford last time.
