tracked winner, pushed along over 6f out, soon lost 2nd place when outpaced
made all, shaken up over 1f out, ran on well, eased towards finish
tracked leaders in 3rd, went 2nd 6f out, ridden over 1f out, no chance with winner
Four winning pointers are making their debut under Rules in this but CEREAL KILLER looks the most interesting. Paul Nicholls doesn’t have many runners here in bumpers but there are high hopes for the French-bred today, though this is no straightforward task. Global Citizen and Timeforben have also joined powerful NH yards while Hattaab showed promise when favourite at Musselburgh back in January. Supakalanistic is another likely improver and Deyrann de Carjac made his debut in a Class 2 event at Newbury in March so must have been showing something at home.
