Talking Horses: Cogry has the class to collect Warwick prize


The Nigel Twiston-Davies runner can add the Classic Chase to his season’s haul

Drying ground will ensure that Warwick’s Classic Chase is not the slog it has often been in the past and that should suit Cogry (3.00), who has plenty of form on a sound surface. He could not keep tabs on Milansbar on soft ground a year ago but may have the legs of that rival, now 12 years old, this time.

Trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies, Cogry has already put up a couple of game efforts this season and refitted cheekpieces helped him to score at Cheltenham last month. He can again go well from the front here.
