The Hannon yard has won three of the last five renewals and PROCURATOR (NAP) scored over track and trip on his handicap debut. He beat Accidental Agent, who subsequently won a valuable sales race at Newmarket, so the form looks rock-solid and he’s preferred to stablemate Lexington Sky. Fareeq is upped in class after winning at Newcastle on his handicap debut while maiden winner Double Touch drops back in trip after a modest effort over a mile at Ayr. Mr Hobbs ran well in a conditions race here recently and Fields Of Song and Colonel Frank don’t need to improve much to also get involved.
