Super Scorpion is proving hard to place and Earthmoves changed hands after winning a seller here last month. Peter Bowen also runs the returning Strumble Head and Lost Legend has dropped to a decent mark. Ugolin De Beaumont has been knocking on the door and Gardiners Hill rattled up a hat-trick at the start of the year but has risen up the weights since. GLOBALISATION (NAP) is only a couple of pounds higher than when dead-heating over course and distance in the autumn. He has a very solid record on the track and Jonathan Moore’s claim should help him get competitive today.
