Several of these ran in the Ayr nursery last month won by Prairie Falcon. Reward Smile did best in finishing third but BRAVEHEART BOY wasn’t far behind and he may enjoy this rain-softened ground more than Hugo Palmer’s gelding. Both should again beat Shandy Star. Tim Easterby also runs the less-exposed Saleet but Borough was a disappointing favourite when last seen at Lingfield. Sassy Belle has been knocking on the door in maiden and novice company and belatedly makes her handicap debut along with Wen Moon.
