Newmarket Warrior is 1-28 on Turf but 2lb lower than for his only victory. Juniors Fantasy remains winless but has finished second three times this year, though is probably still a couple of pounds too high. Quoteline Direct is slipping down the weights but recent rain is probably not in his favour. SO MACHO had no luck in-running at Wolverhampton last month having placed in his first three starts. Still unexposed on Turf, he is probably worth a second look in a modest handicap as Sir Victor appears to be going backwards and has no form on ground this soft.
