2m104yds (-3yds) 0-100 Handicap Hurdle (class 5)
By no means the only horse to run into one from the Nigel Hawke yard in the past few weeks, AN TAILLIUR fared the very best that he could considering the uncontainable all-the-way winner, Theocrat, staying on strongly to put the matter of second place emphatically beyond doubt. Beaten in the region of 40l on all previous starts this term, the first feel of something other than very slow ground demonstrably made a difference this time, more so than the admittedly fair-looking mark. A nephew of one Flat-bred C&D winner among others, Jonjo O’Neill’s grey son of Authorized ought to be eligible for 0-100 or 0-105 contests for a short while longer, and alighting on something similar on another fast surface ought to prove a formality in the very short term.
