Scoones was placed yet again when sent off favourite at Lingfield and finishing runner-up. The Jean Genie was having her first start for nearly a year when beaten a couple of lengths on the Turf course at Lingfield and may well reverse running with third-placed Caravela today but Sharp Reply was still beaten six lengths when second at Carlisle and makes his handicap debut. OURMULLION (NAP) has been raised only 2lb for winning a higher grade contest at Nottingham last month and, given John Best’s charge has scored off higher marks on the all-weather, he gets the vote to go in again.
