Verdict

The unexposed SOME SCOPE did the job well when making a winning handicap debut at Haydock and, with the promise of better to come from this 5-y-o, he is pretty appealing. Zestful lost no caste in defeat when finding just one too good in listed company at Cheltenham and she is second choice. Third on the list is Hashtag Boum, who should remain competitive following a 6 lb rise for her Kelso breakthrough success.

  1. SOME SCOPE
