In depth
Verdict
San Agustin looked a little one paced at Market Rasen and is likely to need further. Canastero was beaten a long way when fourth at Taunton in February and needs more so this looks a good opportunity for GREY FELIX to make a winning debut. He’s from a yard that does well in this sphere and he is by an established NH sire and related to a winning jumper.
