After winning over track and trip, OUT THE HAT ran a cracker in a valuable sales race at York. He has a penalty but it will be disappointing if he can’t concede weight to these given his progressive profile. Blackrod was no match for an odds-on chance at Newcastle but will have learned from the experience. Mcmanaman has ability but steps up in trip but Millions still has time on his side and looks a likely type for a nursery in the next few weeks.
