Tabitha Worsley gave the quirky Go West Young Man a peach of a ride at Perth last Sunday and it will be interesting to see if she can cajole him into producing a similar performance under a 7lb penalty. However, OLD SALT was only beaten a length on that Scottish run and is taken to reverse placings on significantly better terms. Ballycamp seems in the grip of the assessor, Gris De Pron is becoming frustratingly hard to predict so Atlantic Storm looks the one to complete the shortlist. He has been raised a further 2lb by the handicapper despite being beaten the last day but has performed creditably on all three starts this term and is expected to do so again.
