Instill has run in two handicaps and won them both, defying a 4lb rise for a victory at Haydock with a more comfortable success at Windsor for which he's up another 8lb. SCRUTINY (NAP) completed a double in amateurs' events on soft ground then was given too much to do in a similar contest on very fast going here. He's capable of improving further and can get back on track. First Sargeant is high enough in the weights now and found 1m4f stretching his stamina at York though takes a drop in class. Save The Bees completed a hat-trick in July and is now just 2lb higher than his latest victory while Lavetta, who makes her handicap debut with a low weight, has been racing over trips much shorter than this.
