Bombyx finished ahead of Finest View when only weakening after the last at Ludlow and looks to be coming to hand. Hurricane Ali will strip fitter for his run in a Grade 3 at Haydock but Postmark is in danger of becoming disappointing. CHAOS CONTROL (NAP) went well for a long way in a Grade 1 at Aintree last month and finished ahead of some smart juveniles. On that evidence, he looks well treated making his handicap debut. Sea The Clouds was in good form in the autumn and Izayte got off the mark here at the start of the month, though the runner-up didn’t advertise the form later.
