MIXOLOGIST just appeared to run out of steam when collared close home by Agincourt Reef over a longer trip at Fontwell. The drop in trip should suit and, as that run will have blown away any cobwebs, Warren Greatrex' charge is taken to go one better today. Shammick Boy won a Grade 3 at Chepstow last month but is now on a career-high mark. He won't go down without a fight, however, and Citizenship could be interesting with a run at Newbury under his belt. Decoy was never going the pace over this trip at Wincanton last time, however, and needs further while dual course and distance winner Look For Love is probably too high in the weights at present.
