Verdict

Not much to go on here but that won't prevent PYLONTHEPRESSURE starting a very short price unless there is a newcomer to be concerned about. He made all for a very impressive victory between the flags at Laurencetown in May and the Ricci's went to £110,000 for him at the Cheltenham Sales. Samson Bill may do best of the remainder with experience though it's more likely one of the debutants will prove a bigger threat and the market should be noted. Chitter Chatter is out of a mare from a strong jumping family while Tigroney should make a staying chaser in time. Kanjo has more basic pace in her pedigree than most of her rivals but Solunar is bred for stamina.
