Bbold lacks the scope of YEAVERING BELLE and wouldn’t want any rain. He is also conceding 13lb to Kim Bailey’s mare, who was always holding The Crafty Touch at Newton Abbot in the spring when the first two pulled well clear. Not Going Out and The Darley Lama probably have some improving to do but All About You should do better over hurdles having shown promise in bumpers and the four-year-old Falethao D'ana has won a point.
