Cadland Lad and Presto Boy have a combined total of 46 outings and both are still searching for their first win. Captain Scooby has won three times so far this year but has a much better strike rate on Turf while Diminutive scored over today’s trip at Ffos Las in September but has had 22 starts on the all-weather without success. TOPSOIL is much less exposed and Ron Harris’ charge gets a token vote dropping down into Class 7 company today off only a 2lb higher mark than his win over 5f at Bath in August.
