BREATHTAKING LOOK has been raised 7lb for last month’s course and distance success. But Stuart Williams’ progressive filly scored by three lengths on that occasion and there looks plenty more to come. Jaleel beat Dirty Rascal by only a neck over track and trip last time but the latter re-opposes on better terms though both are upped in class along with I Am A Dreamer, who is penalised for a narrow-margin success at Carlisle last week. Light And Dark may well improve now handicapping for the first time while Tommy Taylor could go well under Ryan Moore and Frankie takes over the reins on Portledge, who won off a higher mark on the all-weather at the start of the year.
