We were probably running on fumes bidding-wise," smiled Tim Palin, director of Middleham Park. pic.twitter.com/H0zkRxtxgH — Tattersalls Ireland (@tatts_ireland) September 21, 2020 Racing Update: After a fine win in May at Newmarket, in a £50k Class 2, he remains very much a Saturday handicapper for us, throughout the year. He’s perfectly adept on the AW too and one of those big pot Finals’ days, in years’ time, come Good Friday, could easily be within his winning compass. Charlie did mention him being a type for the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot & the Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood. All year round, and often, weekend and festival action. TIMEFORM RATED:105. His race entries/declarations, will show on this page. Gutsy performance! ??
