Despite having his winning run ended at Sandown last month, HUGOS NEW HORSE (also engaged here Friday) arguably improved when third in what was a deep handicap, and from the same mark, he makes plenty of appeal. Serious Operator is back at a more realistic level and is a big threat, with Uhtred one to monitor in the betting.
