Scenic Pass is preferred to Hip Hip Hooray whilst it would be no surprise to see Sale Or Return improve on the form of his debut. The selection was well held in a Redcar maiden on debut but stepped up on that effort when finishing second in a valuable fourteen runner seller at York just four days ago. The form of that race looks strong and the first two pulled six lengths clear of a field that was strung out like a linear development. This is a relatively quick reappearance but Mick Channon's horses are usually pretty tough and Darryll Holland takes over in the saddle. Hip Hip Hooray is a clear danger on the form book following two promising runs on artificial surfaces; latterly when beating all bar a heavily backed filly at Southwell. She should prove to be just as effective on turf but the main concern is the stable form as they have yet to get on the board in June. Sale Or Return was beaten a long way in a Pontefract maiden in April but she was relatively short in the market that day and the stable are in better form now. She's just one of many that are open to improvement and the market should prove as interesting as ever but there's a lot to like about Scenic Pass.
