Verdict

This could be tailor-made for Gary Moore's NATURAL HISTORY. A smart performer on the level, he hacked up in a C&D handicap at the start of March before floundering in the mud when sent off a short price for the Imperial Cup on just his fourth start in this sphere. Quickly dropped 3 lb and back on better ground, he can resume winning ways. Sebastopol and the classy Diego du Charmil are feared most.
