Nowator popped in for us three weeks ago and we are happy to let him do the business again at the expense of Turn of Phrase and Mister Chisum. While Tom George's stable are in hot form it is folly to oppose his runners, and Nowator, like many in the yard these days, a Polish-bred, can successfully add to his Hereford win that came on his first venture into handicap company. He was practically on a plater's mark there and still does not look badly treated, so is sure to make a bold bid to follow up. Turn of Phrase comes from a yard that does just as well with its hurdlers as Flat horses these days, and can boast two wins over the course and distance, including his latest effort when he quickened up off a slow pace. Not out of it despite topweight, the four-year-old make a bit more appeal than Mister Chisum who has improved from selling class but who will be having his first look at the Yorkshire track.
