In depth
Verdict
Hibernicus made a winning start over 1m4f at Carlisle and is penalised for his trouble. MOBHAM (NAP) can take advantage given his debut third at Goodwood is working out well with the both the winner and fourth subsequently scoring and David Simcock’s colt gets the nod on that form. The Pinto Kid finished a lot closer at Lingfield last time and looks best of the rest unless the North American-bred newcomer Charlie D proves above average.
