Pink Lavender is closely related to three winning jumpers and may lack the pace for this. Indian Tomahawk won a maiden here in November in good style and the placed horses have both won subsequently. A line through the runner-up gives him the beating of Hat Alnasar though there's no doubt the latter has improved enormously since his opening run. Manny Owens won here in October but went up 9lb and he's struggled since. Tomorrow Morning has been in very good form and though only just holding off Clutchingatstraws here last month her battling qualities will stand her in good stead. NAVEGANTE had made a very bright start over the course and distance before finding dropping down in trip against him when third behind two in-form rivals in January. He has the scope to go on to better things. Maira has been unfortunate to come up against decent opposition and has finished runner-up four times.
