'I got a very good feel off him last time' - top jockey Jim Crowley joins our panel of experts
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.
