TAMARILLO GROVE is a standing dish here and probably found 2m4f too far at Market Rasen earlier this month. Back on familiar territory, it will be a surprise if Sophie Leech’s veteran isn’t in the firing-line again. Majestic Touch has had a lay-off but is probably on a fair mark and is worth a market check. Chapmanshype remains unexposed and is another for the short-list while Teqany ran well on his debut for new connections and will strip fitter today. Push The Tempo, Cubswin and Constancio add further interest but Peruvien Bleu may need a confidence-booster.
