5/4
Palacio didn’t show a great deal in two bumpers but it was a very different story when taking a Chepstow maiden on his first start over hurdles. The form has been boosted since, as both the second and third have won subsequently. This looks much easier than his most recent task and a return to winning ways is anticipated.
