Who wins the Hungerford Stakes?
Gary Capewell, broadcaster Kikkuli has to be respected with the likelihood of more to come. But this looks like a good opportunity for English Oak to make the breakthrough in this grade. The Lennox was a messy race and he couldn’t have been more impressive on his two previous starts.
