Maiden winner Jer Batt came up short at Southwell on his handicap bow but can go well under Billy Loughnane. JM JUNGLE placed at Thirsk on his reappearance having been gelded over the winter. He drops down in class for this and gets the vote with John Quinn’s yard in top form. Girl Magic will also be sharper for a recent comeback though drops back down to the minimum trip while Wreck It Ryley placed yet again when second at Ripon but had the measure of Three Beauz before that. Novice winners Belsito and Winter Crown are preferred to Kelpie Grey of those handicapping for the first time.
