Wetherby Race 2 - William Hill Epic Boost 8am Tomorrow Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
CROSSBAR (1) looked a smart prospect when a 2L winner at Kempton on debut. Could be anything at this stage and has a big chance of going back to back. MACHADADORP (2) impressed when shooting clear for 1.75L win at Chester. Had taken a big step forward from debut that day and there could be more to come yet. Major winning chance. TAGO MAGO (10) showed plenty when a 1.25L third at Southwell last September. Switched stables since and potential to take a big step forward now. Rates a genuine threat to all. BLUE ICON (3) indicated ability in two starts so far. Form is a bit below aforementioned rivals however certainly holds place claims.
