In depth
Verdict
BLACK HOLE steps up in trip but finished with a late flourish to take third over 6f at Leicester on his debut and should last home. Happy Chandler may improve past Marefuori of the others with experience while Hound Dog can include a Listed winner among several winning relatives and is preferred to fellow newcomer Prince Rasam.
