Lord Rapscallion bids for a treble on the back of a couple of short-head victories while Poetic Force is upped in class after scoring over track and trip. HIGH VELOCITY (NAP) has yet to race over this far but a chance is taken he lasts home as James Tate’s grey colt has been in the mix in tougher contests over 6f here and a first-time hood may bring further improvement. Dancinginthewoods should go well again though it’s difficult judge the merits of All The King's Men’s two victories in France as he debuts for a new yard.
