Verdict
KANDOR returned to action with a second at Hexham and Lucinda Russell’s charge is taken to go one better with any further progress. Jo Arengeot Bey Aa cost £50,000 as a point-to-point winner while Moonset placed between the flags in Ireland and both debut under Rules. Pleasington makes a belated racecourse debut having cost €72,000 as a three-year-old while Matthias is out of a bumper and hurdles winner.
