The in form Philip Hobbs saddles three with Richard Johnson opting for Dark Episode. His debut third, when an odds-on failure, initially looked disappointing but can be marked up with the winner shaping well in a valuable race since. EKAYBURG has landed a Grade 2 NH flat race in France and represents top owners who are making a concerted effort to obtain top-class jumpers for the current season. This may take little winning and David Pipe has found a good race for his hurdling bow.
