As the nights start to draw it, it feels as though the National Hunt Season 'proper' is just around the corner. To reinforce this feeling Mrs Robeson has 2 runners at Bangor tomorrow. Ogee makes his chasing debut, and although the race is no 'egg and spoon' he is very well and has schooled well, so he should run a nice race - but it is always difficult to tell how they will react to the bigger obstacles when they encounter them in a race, but the yard are confident that he will perform with credit. Icterus is declared to run in the first division of the bumper, and has been working well at home, with very little form to go on it is hard to assess his chances, but if he settles and runs his race properly, (unlike last time when he was just way too keen) he could be in the shake up!
