OVERVIEW: Expectation can be a terrible thing. Having taken all before him through his classic season before producing a breathtaking first-up success back in May COVER OF DARKNESS (8) was elevated to rockstar status a touch before his time. As a result, his last two losses have been judged far more harshly than is reasonable and back in this grade, even from an incredibly tricky gate he has the class edge required for success and should be considered as a potential one-out option in Early Quads. His major threat is probably TRAVEL BUG (6). With GUNNING (3) almost certain to cross CELTIC CASH (1) before looking for an appropriate trailing option TRAVEL BUG (6) looks perfectly placed to head these off and if they disrespect him, he will make them pay. Beyond that top pair there’s a peloton of players with smaller Each Way hopes comprised by JACKSON SQUARE (12), NEPHEW OF SONOKO (7), HAVEHORSEWILLTRAVEL (10), ROBBIE ROYALE (11) and KYVALLEY CHIEF (9).

OVERVIEW: Expectation can be a terrible thing. Having taken all before him through his classic season before producing a breathtaking first-up success back in May COVER OF DARKNESS (8) was elevated to rockstar status a touch before his time. As a result, his last two losses have been judged far more harshly than is reasonable and back in this grade, even from an incredibly tricky gate he has the class edge required for success and should be considered as a potential one-out option in Early Quads. His major threat is probably TRAVEL BUG (6). With GUNNING (3) almost certain to cross CELTIC CASH (1) before looking for an appropriate trailing option TRAVEL BUG (6) looks perfectly placed to head these off and if they disrespect him, he will make them pay. Beyond that top pair there’s a peloton of players with smaller Each Way hopes comprised by JACKSON SQUARE (12), NEPHEW OF SONOKO (7), HAVEHORSEWILLTRAVEL (10), ROBBIE ROYALE (11) and KYVALLEY CHIEF (9).

OVERVIEW: Expectation can be a terrible thing. Having taken all before him through his classic season before producing a breathtaking first-up success back in May COVER OF DARKNESS (8) was elevated to rockstar status a touch before his time. As a result, his last two losses have been judged far more harshly than is reasonable and back in this grade, even from an incredibly tricky gate he has the class edge required for success and should be considered as a potential one-out option in Early Quads. His major threat is probably TRAVEL BUG (6). With GUNNING (3) almost certain to cross CELTIC CASH (1) before looking for an appropriate trailing option TRAVEL BUG (6) looks perfectly placed to head these off and if they disrespect him, he will make them pay. Beyond that top pair there’s a peloton of players with smaller Each Way hopes comprised by JACKSON SQUARE (12), NEPHEW OF SONOKO (7), HAVEHORSEWILLTRAVEL (10), ROBBIE ROYALE (11) and KYVALLEY CHIEF (9).
