Pied Piper ran green at Sandown but that effort was not without promise and his dam handled ground with some give. Pleasant Man has a nice pedigree and should make into a middle-distance performer. He’s likely to know what’s required but Mark Johnston’s two-year-olds often improve for a run and OUTBACK BOY was prominent for a long way at Ascot last month - that experience will stand him in good stead today. Artorious looks the pick of his trainer’s two runners and makes more appeal than Tanglewood Tales and Desert Quest.
