FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - First time blinkers were deployed in style when NEVER MISTABEAT struck here 37 days back. That was over an extended ten furlongs and he goes up to a mile and a half now. He missed an intended engagement at the start of the month as he was coughing, but could now handle a sixteen higher mark. Never Mistabeat won’t be anything like the 28/1 price he returned at, when making the breakthrough in January. Interestingly the selection’s stable companion, Pimstrel, also came forward for the addition of first-time head-gear, going in at odds of 100/1 with cheek-pieces initially tried at Gowran in July 2020. Dangers abound with the likes of Everyhouronthehour, Strip Light, Pineapple Express, Nightly Wailing, Fryerns, Port Lockroy and Wave Walker sure to have their supporters.
