In depth
Verdict
Duhallow Tommy has improved with every run and got off the mark at Fontwell in January. RANGE was a shade keen when favourite at Huntingdon on Boxing day following a debut second at Chepstow. He has a good chance of making it third-time lucky here, though points winners Rock House and Saladins Son, who changed hands for £95,000, are worth a market check. Centara is from a good family and Hammer Dan cost £62,000 after placing in a point last season.
