Where Are You Now

11st 12lb

J: Charlie O’Dwyer

T: E Bolger

Ran three times in maidens; opening mark proved tempting for punters who made him favourite for a 2m amateur riders' contest over 2m around here (soft to heavy); made a costly error at two out and was only just denied after rallying; up 4lb but this trip may bring further improvement; big player.
