In depth
Verdict
CYGNET looks an interesting recruit to the winter game and this mid-80's rated horse on the flat could prove a bargain buy for Donald McCain. Kack Handed has struggled to get off the mark but if the track receives any rain, it will prove very much to the benefit of the Henry Daly charge. Hustle should not want for fitness though was well held on previous tries over hurdles. Rhum drops massively in trip having previously campaigned at distances well in excess of this bare two miles. Sagredo has proved expensive to follow over hurdles whilst That's Some Milan has yet to recapture some of that initial promise in bumpers but Warren Marston has elected to keep faith with him this afternoon.
