In depth

Verdict

Scales is effective at this level and back on a decent mark. The three-year-old Moving Waves acquitted herself well in handicap company at Chepstow last time while Kozmina Bay and Xaarcet were second and third over course and distance 12 days ago and should get involved again. Boss In Boots has been chasing, however, while Flashy Star has gone up 4lb since her second at Worcester. EXMOOR MIST came in for significant market support off a higher mark here in March. He was well beaten again but is obviously though capable of much better than he's shown so far and another summer out at grass won't have done the grey any harm.
