In depth
Verdict
DYNAMIC KATE is tried in headgear this evening and that may just inspire Neil Mulholland’s mare to find the necessary improvement to belatedly get off the mark. Richard Newland sent Mr Woody chasing with positive results and he returns him over hurdles in a bid to build upon that momentum. Phoenix Park has placed regularly between the flags and any money for him would be significant. Balkotic made all at Sedgefield to score under tonight’s pilot while Racing Spirit has gone well fresh in the past and could surprise at longer odds.
