Three Castles and Stormin Norman both won over 2m at Musselburgh on their respective latest starts while Dance King had Thorntoun Care back in the third when scoring over 1m3f in one of these events at Ripon. But the former had earlier finished behind runner-up Tapis Libre over 1m4f here when PERCY PROSECCO was fourth though the latter is proven over today’s longer trip and is fancied to reverse running in first-time headgear. Restive has switched yards and is another to consider having won under Serena Brotherton at Southwell last year.
