Border Victor appeared to show improved form after a wind operation at Ayr but is hardly a reliable proposition. Once An Angel has been getting closer and has claims if she stays while K O Kenny found only one too good in cheekpieces at Southwell last month. RISING MARIENBARD was ahead of Witness when a rallying fourth last time at Musselburgh. That was the winning pointer’s first run over 3m under Rules and there should be more to come. Zamparelli is a chaser in the making and still has a bit to prove over timber but the booking of Brian Hughes is a positive for supporters of long-standing maiden Floramoss.
