Verdict

Set the recording devices away, as this would appear to be a potentially above average Northern bumper. Dr Hooves is very well regarded by his trainer Lucinda Russell, but she must be cursing the abandonment of Ayr on Tuesday where her €130,000 purchase would surely have broken his duck with the minimum of fuss. Tupence is massively respected on debut for Susan Corbett given his appealing pedigree, and a market move for this inexperienced four-year-old would be revealing, but he'll more than likely have to be very smart to down the Rose Dobbin trained HITMAN FRED. He looked all over the winner on rules debut over C&D last month before being edged out for greeness by Highland Hunter (a stablemate of Blaydon and Dr Hooves), but with that experience gathered, this £90,000 acquisition should make no mistake at the second time of asking.
