        Verdict

        HUDDLE UP was a private buy out of Willie McCreery’s stables in Ireland and he signed off from that tenure with a win at Naas in October despite racing three days previously. Ventura Express has gone well when fresh in the past so any market move should not be ignored. Havagomecca wasn’t knocked about on reappearance at Beverley and appears not to be ground dependent. Atiyah won at Chelmsford though he is yet to get his head in front when tried on Turf in the past.
