STRICTLY PINK was due to run at Warwick on Easter Monday but still has every chance if coming on and taking her chance here. In good nick on the all-weather recently, she also displayed her turf ability when landing a decent Pontefract handicap from Lexi's Hero about a year ago. She's worth a shot off this mark with fitness assured, though would collect a penalty if successful yesterday. Cut Across has to be on any short-list even though he is so hard to evaluate after just the one run when landing a Lingfield maiden during the winter season. The son of Cape Cross could be anything at this stage and it will be interesting to see how the market reacts to his presence. Love You Louis has been going well enough on artificial surfaces to warrant a mention while Bouncy Bouncy and Liberty Ship, both consistent and C&D winners, enter calculations if ready for their seasonal debuts.
