ORDER OF ST JOHN landed an apprentices’ race on fast ground at Nottingham and escapes a penalty. He can confirm running with Dancing Jo and go close again. Zulu Girl carries 5lb extra for winning at Brighton recently and will find this tougher while both Kyllinga and Regulator have been thereabouts at the latter track lately. Kenstone hasn’t won since scoring here back in 2018 and the remainder are harder to recommend.
