Teruntum Star gained his ninth and latest victory in this a year ago from an 8lb higher mark. SON AND SANNIE hadn’t been showing much on the all-weather over the winter but was heavily supported on his return after a break at Windsor last week and duly obliged. That was an apprentice race so no penalty is incurred and he can complete a quick double. Dandy Spirit was in good form without winning n Ireland last summer and has moved to Roger Fell while High Security’s neck second to the in-form King Of Tonga at Pontefract puts him in the picture. Elegant Erin hasn’t won since her juvenile days and might just need her reappearance.
