ENGLISH PALE floundered in heavy going last time but had earlier finished a close-up third for Jessica Harrington behind a horse rated 102 in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel. He may prove good enough at the first time of asking for new connections. New To This Town has also left the Harrington yard and is can go well for Colin Tizzard on his first start since April but Shalakar, a dual winner on the Flat in France, showed little on a recent hurdles debut for Venetia Williams and the latter also runs Subcontinent. The Draconian and Awake At Midnight are likely improvers while Way Out West and St John’s are bumper winners and hurdling newcomer The Major landed a double on the Flat in June.
