The Hooded Claw  3 y ch g  Dandy Man – Changari  (Peej)

Once again the net has been cast far and wide , and this is one that Peej no doubts hopes is a single pick. With a record of nine runs and f just one win, he is an interesting choice. He made his debut at Ripon in May last year, finishing last of 5 behind Rosebay Coral, beaten 5l , over 5f, then in August at Thirsk, finished 7^th beaten, 10 ½ l behind Lucky Parsons, in another 5f maiden. He went back to Thirsk in August, and showed improved form in a 6f maiden, finishing 2^nd to Inyourdreams, beaten 2 ¼ l, then in September, went to York, and finished 6^th, beaten 4 ¼ l behind Alpahbet Rap, over 5 ½ f. He then finished 2^nd At Ripon in another 6f maiden, beaten ¾ l by King of Macedon, then was stepped up to Listed class, and finished 5^th, beaten 3 l by Ventura mist over 6f at Redcar.

He then went to York in October and finished 11^th, beaten 8l, in a nursery handicap over 6f, and finally got off the mark on 29^th October at Catterick, winning a 6f maiden by 2l from Angel Floes. He reappeared at Thirsk recently, finishing 4^th in a 5f handicap , beaten 6 ¼ l by Mecca’s Angel.
