Medal Winner returned an easy winner in maiden company at Brighton last summer and looks sure to be winning handicaps this year but MOLL DAVIS is preferred. George Scott’s filly won twice in 2019 and finished a creditable third in a Listed contest on a trip over to France in October. Sucellus narrowly beat Cape Cavalli at Sandown on his first start after wind surgery and has switched yards subsequently while Cockalorum and Arctic Fox are not out of this off their respective current marks. Jus Pires and Trevithick were winning here in February though both face stiffer tasks upped in class today.
