Razzo Italiano returned a 33/1 winner at Southwell when three of the fancied horses failed to complete. Bay Of Intrigue placed at Uttoxeter attempting to make all while Mutual Respect looked like placing at Chepstow before falling at the last. Lough Carra is usually in the mix but the less-exposed TELHIMLISTEN should have come on for a second at Musselburgh and, given the winner has gone in again subsequently, Jennie Candlish’s charge gets the vote now handicapping.
