Went with plenty of zest when second at Warwick in May and 3lb rise since doesn’t leave her handicapped out of things.

RACE SUMMARY:

This trip is an unknown for LAND OF MY DELIGHT but he’s going the right way over hurdles and definitely has a bigger performance in him, so it’s worth risking his stamina. Dynamic Kate is thriving so has to command respect, while the assessor has given Ballintubber Boy a big chance on his reappearance.
