After beating Shabra Emperor over the trip last month, when Moss Nation and Fairy Foxglove were behind, TOM DOOLEY (NAP) was sent over an extra furlong a week ago but got into all sorts of bother in-running and the run is best ignored. He's still on a decent mark and can make amends. It's about time UK import Burren View Lady was showing some form and it would be no surprise to see her in the frame. Smart Alec scored for Alan Swinbank at Catterick in August but may need more time to settle into new surroundings, a remark that also applies to Sofi's Spirit, who completed a four-timer within 18 days in December 2012. Six Silver Lane is gradually dropping to a mark he can win from but the veteran Tsar Paul has struggled after being raised a massive 10lb for his victory in December.
