On UNITED

UNITED has been heavily supported in the betting since he joined John Moore's stable from Andreas Schutz, but his first up performance throws doubt onto whether that support is justified.  In the Class 4 race, he sat outside of pacesetter Lotus Love and kicked on, before being overhauled by Fionn's Dragon close to the wire.  But the time he clocked was quite a few lengths off the sectionals produced by Class 3 runners, so you would need to hope for a significant improvement on the run.  He has actually gained weight since that win, so I would not be confident in his chances and his future.
