Mellow Ben won at Fontwell last month and followed that up with a second off this mark at Plumpton. He has an excellent chance on the form book, though was behind Alberta at Kempton in February. Wind Place And Sho is still a maiden but has ability and ran well enough after a short break here in March. Whatthebutlersaw might need this but THIRD ESTATE ran well at Ludlow last month and has recovered quickly from wind surgery. He’s had a light career to date and the booking of Richard Johnson catches the eye here. Guards Chapel and Second Time Around are others with claims on their best form.
