A return to hurdling and a visor could bring about the necessary improvement for PAGHAM BELLE to return to winning ways. She beat Mazurati at Southwell in March before following up in a better race at Wincanton and has been chasing lately. Midnight Mustang has had a short break but has been placed in three of his four runs since the turn of the year. Westerly Breeze and Dan's Quest could figure if bouncing back from recent setbacks but Diego Suarez is looking very one-paced and the handicapper has taken no chances with winning pointer Distant Sound.
