Korker
Slow-starter; on a dangerous mark but he is without a win since October 2023 and one 7f run didn't see him improve for the trip.

From the connections
“Korker seemed to get away reasonably well, he was tracking the pace and he finished strongly - Karl Burke, trainer.”
“Korker was very good and he especially jumped the gates nicely. He was very relaxed at the start and he picked them off. He bumped into a horse rated 111 at Ascot [Emaraaty Ana] and wasn't far behind him. His last three runs have been very good and he's been frustrating at the gates before, but he's really come on. He's grown up now. He's got a bit of a confidence booster now and after speaking to the boss that might be it for the year, so he'd be ending it on a high - Clifford Lee, rider.”
“Korker has been so unlucky as he keeps missing the break and deserves his win. I've ridden him loads and when he doesn't miss the break, he never actually races through, but when you miss it slightly he hits the frame. He didn't miss it today, but we couldn't get into stride in the first furlong. I thought we were going to get lapped but he really got me back into it - Clifford Lee, jockey.”
“Korker was very relaxed for a sprinter. He'll go for the Holyroodhouse Handicap at Royal Ascot.”
“Korber is a little bit quirky in the stalls, hence he goes in last with the hood on, but he jumped reasonably quickly and had a nice smooth run. He's a high-class horse, who we've thrown in the deep end, and he's proved he's got a lot of ability. We'll see what Listed races are around for him and I'm sure he'll be a lovely horse next year - Karl Burke, trainer.”
