Verdict

Hermes Le Gris was disappointing at Huntingdon after finishing second at Catterick. CAMULUS is a half-brother to the Irish Grand National winner Freewheelin Dylan. He finished second in a maiden point in October and should have a future under Rules. Holetown Hero finished ahead of Final Encore at Wincanton but both were unplaced and Exeter fourth Mr Snow Way and Major Fortune, who finished a distant second here five weeks ago, may have more scope.
