In depth
Verdict
Timetotalk has placed in a couple of bumpers and Grey Market is improving with experience and won by 12 lengths at Hexham. Legionar was thrown in at the deep end on his hurdling debut in a Grade 2 at Kempton in February and SIZING MAURITIUS also returns from a break. The latter made all at Kilbeggan in April and Sam Drinkwater has booked Brian Hughes for his UK debut.
