In depth
Verdict
PRESSURE SENSITIVE didn’t beat much at Bangor in the autumn but impressed with the way he travelled that day and showed a willing attitude when out under pressure. He can only improve and should have strengthened up over the winter. Brayhill, Wasastylequeen and Tom Cody are having a first run under Rules with the latter pair also holding entries yesterday but Hidor De Bersy could be interesting being stoutly bred and a half-brother to six winners.
